What this book is about
Most people only understand prisons through news headlines, movies, or assumptions.
The reality of working inside a correctional facility is far different.
Corrections Corrupt provides an honest and detailed look into the daily life of a corrections officer—the challenges, responsibilities, and pressures that come with the job. It also gives insight into the inmate population and the structure of institutional life.
This book offers a rare perspective into one of the most demanding and misunderstood professions.

Why this book matters
