In Pine Box Parole, Part I, "The Terry Fitzsimmons Story" begins with convicted murderer Fitzsimmons hanging himself in Ontario's Kingston Penitentiary, with subsequent chapters explaining the killer's background and the senseless killings upon which he embarked after spending years in solitary confinement. His lawyer, and author of this book, John L. Hill, attempts to defend the indefensible by putting the blame on the prison system for creating a monster. Part II of the book, "Other True Cases," is a collection of searing stories of five of John Hill's clients, including the psychopathic, 'natural born killer' Clifford Olson, and Inderjit Sigh Reyat, the only person to be convicted of the bombing Air India Flight 182.
