Publisher's Synopsis
At the age of nine, a tragedy split up Dwight Abbott's family and forced him into the hands of the California Youth Authority. This is the chilling chronicle of his life behind bars - a story of brutality and survival; a dark journey showing how the systematic abuse of incarcerated children creates a cycle of criminal behaviour that usually ends with prison or death. In its first edition, I Cried You Didn't Listen won a Project Censored award for stories that are significant, yet under-reported in the mainstream media.
