Forty to Life tells the story of a teen gang member who murders, thereby losing his own life to prison before finding it again. Loosely based on a true story,
Forty to Life reads more like a documentary account than an action thriller, taking you into life on the mean streets of Chicago.
I found it very informative about life behind bars for a teen offender, and how the pressures of gang life result in decisions that seem obviously unwise to most of us.
Perhaps the greatest message of
Forty to Life is how God uses regular people to reach the seemingly unreachable.
