Criminal Minded Vol. I

A Memoir of Survival, Systemic Injustice, and Resilience

Criminal Minded Vol. I traces Erwin “Dallas Cake” Pilgrim’s journey through a system that promised protection but delivered pain. From the streets of New York to foster homes and prison yards, Pilgrim exposes the machinery of incarceration that thrives on punishment instead of rehabilitation. This raw memoir sheds light on systemic injustice while telling a story of survival, resistance, and hope.

With unflinching honesty, Pilgrim documents the cycle of abuse, neglect, and systemic profiteering that defines modern corrections. More than a memoir, Criminal Minded is a call to action — revealing how cages are turned into cash, and why true reform is long overdue.
