Produktbeschreibung
Prison Tales From the West Coast contains the most unbelievable backstories of many unsung heroes, their horrific experiences in many cases conveniently forgotten. These real-life stories are both shocking and graphic. Researched from an insider's perspective, I provide the history of the Canadian Penitentiary Service, and its exciting transition into the Correctional Service of Canada. This is my third odyssey into the true-crime genre, which details many of the riotous situations that have occurred behind the tall and foreboding limestone walls and barbed wire fences designed to keep evil contained within. This book is dedicated to the brave men and women of the Pacific Region's Emergency Response Team who face dangers as a matter of routine. These pages chronologize the troubled history of the B.C. penitentiary system - from mayhem to the secrets buried at the cemetery to the tragic death of Mary Steinhauser and her captors Andy Bruce, Dwight Lucas, and Claire Wilson. ¿ The Agassiz Correctional Work Camp and the sad murder of Vancouver Police Dog Valiant, shot in the line of duty. ¿ Matsqui Institution's 1981 riot which cost the Canadian taxpayers over five million dollars. Join me as I pull back the curtain exposing the Oz-like environment, and the unwashed truths some prefer kept private. The harrowing stories chronicle the gruesome and bloody accounts of might vs right, and the battle between good vs evil, as both sides struggle for domination.
