LaMarr talks about the manipulation and deception involved in many of the relationships that he has been in throughout his incarceration, and also on becoming committed and dedicated towards making them work. He also offers advice to those who are considering becoming involved with anyone in such an unfortunate position. Above all, Making Her Own Decisions is a true testament that not all prison relationships fail.
