From the rugged hills of West Virginia to the halls of power in Washington D.C., and then to the confines of a federal prison, "Political Prisoner" tells the extraordinary story of Derrick Evans -- a former state delegate, educator, and family man whose life took a dramatic turn in the wake of January 6th.

This powerful memoir chronicles Evans' remarkable journey from small-town football star to groundbreaking political figure, becoming the first Republican in nearly a century to win his district in the West Virginia House of Delegates. But just days after taking office, Evans found himself at the center of one of the most controversial events in modern American history, leading to a 90-day imprisonment that would test his faith, resilience, and commitment to his principles.

With unflinching honesty, Evans provides a rare and intimate look inside the American justice system, detailing his experiences in a Michigan federal prison and the profound impact on his family -- including his wife Melissa and their four young children. More than just a political story, this is a deeply personal account of faith, redemption, and unwavering conviction in the face of extraordinary challenges.

Now, Evans sets his sights on an unprecedented comeback -- seeking to return to Washington not in handcuffs, but with his hand on the Bible as a member of Congress. "Political Prisoner" offers readers a front-row seat to one of the most compelling political comeback stories in recent American history, told with raw authenticity by the man who lived it.
