30 Minutes after Being Busted

Leonard Bilski was first arrested when he was fourteen. Other arrests followed at age sixteen and eighteen. By age twenty, he was selling pot, gambling, and driving a 1986 convertible Corvette. But as his path through life careened back and forth between power, material possessions, drugs, and betting, Lenny became locked in a dark world with seemingly no way out.

As Lenny reflects on a difficult childhood spent with a schizophrenic father that eventually led him into a life of crime and three years in prison, he shines a light on the heartbreak and subsequent related choices that unfortunately can influence children trapped within a dysfunctional family dynamic. While continuing through stories of life in jail and beyond, Lenny reveals details of what it is really like inside prison walls, a list of things not to do in prison, and all the fights he endured while behind bars. Through it all, Lenny hopes that by sharing his life challenges, he will inspire others to believe there is always hope for a new beginning.
