Is justice alive and well in the Unites States of America?
Author Donato Alfredano believes it is—relatively speaking. However, judging from his experience, it’s far from perfect.

This book is a reality check for those with preconceived ideas about the criminal justice system. It shows that even the best of us can get caught in the fray and end up having to endure the punishment meted out for poor choices – and in Donato’s case, it was a five year prison sentence.

While delivering hard, cold facts about prison life, Donato’s moving narrative is provocative, compassionate, ironically humorous, and full of surprises. He weaves his innermost thoughts and emotions together with intriguing vignettes about the everyday realities and outrageous personalities he encounters along his journey. As a musician and songwriter, these vignettes become the backdrop for the songs Donato was inspired to write as he forged his way through the chaotic realm of concrete and steel. They have since become the inspiration for the thought provoking “Real Men Wear Beige” soundtrack, which is now available at www.rmwbeige.com.

Real Men Wear Beige delivers a colorful dose of reality and a vivid snapshot of plain, old, unadulterated humanity… from the dregs to the divine.

The excerpt of "A Butterfly in the Rain," features Corey Glover from the band "Living Colour" and comes from the "Real Men Wear Beige" Soundtrack.
