Booker Geez goes from the free-spirited world of the clothing industry to the restriction and the chaos of juvenile detention in a true Bronx Tale of a fathers love for his children. As a juvenile counselor Booker is confronted with his moral judgement and his obligatory responsibilities while becoming more institutionalized than the children he is paid to protect. This tell all book is a glance into the crooked world of city agencies that oppress those on their payroll and neglect needs of the children under their care. When society asked the question, "Where the Wild Things Are?" The answer is that they are in detention. With the school-to-prison that exist in this country Locked Up and Put Away has the potential to educate parents and their teenage children on the dangers and toxic atmosphere that thrive these facilities. Locked Up and Put Away will attack street culture at its core and dispel the myth that going to jail is a rights-of-passage for Black and Latino men. Locked Up and Put Away is a raw depiction of how life is on the inside of a secure detention, describing everything from the outfits to the slang used to communicate between the youth offenders, to the size of their rooms. This book is scared straight on paper and engages the reader in endless situations from incidents involving youth offenders placed in the facility, the staff responsible for their care and the administration watching over the staff. This book has everything from sex, to drugs to hip-hop music as the backdrop with incidents involving street gangs that fight for control of the building against the juvenile counselors paid to control them. Readers are taken on a rollercoaster ride of jaw dropping events that come to a powerful conclusion at the hands of a system that has out lived its existence.
