After committing credit card fraud at a local department store, 18-year-old Reginald Hall lands an eight-month sentence at the Delaware County Prison. What complicates his life as an inmate is his sexual orientation. In life, being gay is difficult enough; in prison, it can be a horrendous ordeal. Attempting suicide, taking drugs, and having illicit sex were only some of the self-destructive behaviors Reginald dabbled in. His only sanity came from family visits and frequent phone calls to relatives, especially his mother, his reaching out to God, and his few genuine friendships formed in jail, particularly with Lamont. This is not to say Reginald was an angel during his stay at DCP. He had plenty of jailhouse crushes, some of them inappropriate - like his infatuation with Teddy Cunningham. Teddy had it all: looks, money, respect, and a big love muscle that Reginald just lusted for.

Reissue: Since slavery, there has always been a Big Bucks in every Black neighborhood-desperately conniving, in some cases, to put two pennies together; owning, in others, a number of profitable businesses. He (or she) is a character cut from the same cloth as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, and other giants of American Industry. The great tragedy is not that Big Bucks and other Blacks like him are unknown in mainstream America, but that, to Black Americans, dazzled by lawyers and other professionals, these entrepreneurs remain invisible. Whether you are trapped by a glass ceiling, a slave to the corporation, or are just looking for a way to "get off the plantation"; Daddy Big Bucks will inspire and motivate you.
