The book, USUAL TEARS: THREE MONTHS IN AUGHT AND SIX, is an imaginative collection of prose and poetry that lays before the reader the innermost thoughts and emotional life of a man thirty-plus years in prison. The book USUAL TEARS relates the history of Nevada state prison in the first quarter of 2006 when a new get tough Warden was assigned in the previously quiet and safe prison that now turned into a place of violence and murder. Nyberg wrote: At suppertime a Unit Ten prisoner stop by Unit Six and told the officer that a dead man was in the Unit 10 C-tier shower. The murderers imprisoned at Nevada State Prison had never celebrated death with the zeal that their betters (the administration) did. Nyberg further wrote: On nights of an execution we prisoners were locked in our cells immediately following the evening meal. While we were locked down, the administration officials and distinguished guests have a party with the buffet set up in the school area. The author reminds us: It is not what you think that defined you - it is what you do with those thoughts. The madman's dreams are also the dreams of the poet. As he now finishes his forty-fifth year in prison the author expresses his greatest fear: I am facing the greatest fear of old lifers-to grow old and alone in prison.
