As one of the authors of "The Cheat Code," I, Armand King, am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to co-author this pivotal guide with Jonas Royster. This book represents not just a culmination of professional expertise but also a deeply personal journey. My life, intertwined with populations in and out of incarceration, including my own experiences in nine different institutions across the United States, has given me a unique perspective on the challenges faced during probation and parole.
