ITEM OVERVIEW
Once a strong Los Angeles boxer headed to the Olympics, now in maximum security prison, Torrey was pressured to collaborate with the FBI to "clean up boxing" and paid back with empty promises and a forseeable future in prison. Joey discovered zines in prison and decided that this was the medium in which he wanted to publish his memoir — and boy does he have stories to tell! He grew up on the streets of Compton where he learned to box. Now he lives in a cell between Sirhan Sirhan and Charles Manson (whom he answers mail for).
Told in his own words to the few people that he trusted, his story is finally broadcast.
