It was a travesty to work at six different prisons in three different states and see the same things occur in each of these prisons. Though there has been extensive media coverage about prisons, and though many politicians have made emotional decisions/laws concerning some of the contents in this book, the 'inside truth' has yet to be told. The things I have witnessed and been subjected to while working inside different prison walls, places me in a position to tell the 'inside truth;' the 'inside truth' about the criminal justice system, that can't be told by others.
