Spare Change is a raw and deeply human collection of short stories written behind prison walls. Through moments of regret, survival, humor, violence, hope, and reflection, Michael Good captures the unseen reality of incarceration and the people living inside it. Each story offers a glimpse into lives shaped by hard choices and harder consequences, while revealing the humanity that still exists beneath the labels society places on inmates. Some stories are gritty and heartbreaking, others unexpectedly funny or hauntingly honest — but all are written from lived experience. Spare Change is more than prison writing. It is a testament to resilience, self-examination, and the search for meaning in the most confined of places. Honest, unfiltered, and unforgettable, this collection gives readers a voice they rarely get to hear.
