For Shaw Jones, boxing started as a way to survive bullying. One fight inside a Tennessee prison became a memory he never forgot. He still remembers the sound of the doors. Heavy steel doors closing behind him one by one as he walked deeper into a maximum-security prison in the rural South. He was fourteen years old. Most teenagers spend their evenings worrying about school or friends. That night, Shaw was walking past razor wire, armed guards, and watchtowers on his way to a boxing match. It sounds unbelievable now, which is part of the reason he decided to tell the story.
