      <image:title>Work - The Cost of a Bullet</image:title>
      <image:caption>Latif Lamonte, in prison for more than twenty-seven years, shares his experiences in “the game,” which led him to drug use and drug dealing, gun violence and murder. The story covers Lamonte’s pre-trial detention, prosecution, and time in prison, all in graphic detail. Lamonte further addresses his victims and the impact of his incarceration on relationships with friends and family, especially the daughter he left unprotected. Lamonte’s message to at-risk youth heading down the same path is clear: beware, the costs of firing a fatal bullet are many – foreseen and unforeseen. From the book: “How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?” I should be happy, but thinking of what lies ahead, I must admit that I am afraid. I will be a stranger in a strange land. Just about everyone I knew is either dead or have long since moved away. Who will be in this land? Where will I go? Will I make it? These are the questions that plague my thoughts and those of the long-term prisoner.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - The Cost of A Bullet</image:title>
      <image:caption>Latif Lamonte issues a plea to at-risk youth to stop gun violence. His warning is clear: beware, the costs of firing a fatal bullet are many, foreseen and unforeseen. In this compelling autobiographical account, Lamonte shares his experiences in "the game," which led him to drug use and drug dealing, gun violence, murder, and then his prosecution, conviction, and imprisonment. Prison violence - assault, rape, and murder (including one committed on death row!) - and the prevalence of mental illness and suicide are described in graphic detail; so is the stressful experience that is the appellate process. Lamonte also addresses his victim and the impact of his incarceration on the relationships with his friends and family, especially the daughter he left unprotected. Ultimately, at the end of his long sentence, Lamonte reveals a stunning truth about the long-term prisoner.</image:caption>
