Tears As Of Blood: A River Of Tears

The book, TEARS AS OF BLOOD is an imaginative collection of prose and poetry that lays before the reader the innermost thoughts and emotional life of a man thirty-plus years in prison. The book relates the history of Nevada State Prison in the first quarter of 2006 when a new get "tough Warden" was assigned in the previously quiet and safe prison that now turned into a place of violence and murder. Nyberg wrote: "At suppertime at Unit Ten prisoner stopped by Unit Six and told the officer that a dead man was in the unit 10 C-tier shower." The murderers imprisoned at Nevada State Prison had never celebrated death with the zeal that their "betters" (the administration) did. Nyberg further wrote: "On nights of an execution we prisoners were locked in our cells immediately following the evening meal. While we were locked down, the administration officials and distinguished guests were having a party with the buffet set up in the school area." The author reminds us: "It is not what you think that defined you - it is what you do with those thoughts. The madman's dreams are also the dreams of the poet." As he now finishes his 45th year in prison the author expresses his greatest fear: "I am facing the greatest fear of old lifers-to grow old and alone in prison."
