Produktbeschreibung
Dealing with jail culture affects both corrections officers and inmates, but very differently. Much has been written about the relationship of officers to inmates, but very little from the perspective of the corrections officer. This dark and gutsy memoir details in short stories the day and life of someone in the profession with great intentions, but with less control over the outcome of the inevitable conflicts than one might think. A fascinating, uncensored glimpse into the thoughts and actions of those in the world of the incarcerated, telling about the good and the bad events that occur at every turn. Sometimes shocking, with bursts of greatness here and there, the stories will tug at every emotion.
Autorenporträt
Officer C. Rogers has been a Virginia correctional officer for 20 years. She has always supported and enjoyed all types of art, so she started a unique art project with inmates at the facility where she works. ACA Jail Accreditors were so impressed, they had her write up a summary of her project so others could emulate it. She also serves as a general jail instructor. She is also a singer, and writes jingles. Officer Rogers is married with a grown daughter, and currently lives in Virginia with their two beloved dogs. She enjoys taking trips on her motorcycle and any hobby that speaks of adventure. This book was inspired by Orange is the New Black. By writing it, she wants to give readers the true point of view of an actual corrections officer.
