IF THE WALLS COULD TALK: Would You Listen?
Written from inside a Florida prison over three decades, this memoir is the true account of 32 years of wrongful imprisonment and what it takes to finally be heard.
FROM THE BACK COVER
The Gift of Knowledge.
Have you ever wondered what happens after a crime scene has been processed? Have you ever questioned the validity of eye-witness testimony? Has the problem of prison overcrowding ever been of real interest to you? Do you think unfair sentencing practices exist? Do you have an innate desire to know and understand what really goes on inside America’s criminal “justice” system?
In IF THE WALLS COULD TALK: Would You Listen? James “Jay” Thomas gives the reader a gift: the gift of knowledge. He opens our eyes to the reality of life behind prison walls. Through his bondage, he frees us from blindness and naiveté and forces us to see the criminal “justice” system the way we’ve never seen it before. He asks the hard questions as he subtly removes the veil from our eyes that has kept us in the dark and ignorant to the criminal “justice” system. We are released from the burden of ignorance as the walls speak and our eyes are opened as enlightenment comes from the inside out.
The answers to many of your other unanswered questions are locked inside of these pages. Do you dare to unlock them? If you are a truth-seeker longing for the scales of justice to be balanced, this book is for you.
“The walls knew the truth. They heard every prayer, every plan, every moment I refused to stop fighting. The question was never whether the truth would come out. The question was whether anyone would listen when it did.”

The book is where the story began. The podcast, the advocacy work, the consulting services, and the journey toward a national television series, that is where it continues.
