There are no good or bad guys in jail life-just the hostile environment of a savage world where survival is everything. Killers, rapists and dangerous criminals combine with an exhausted jail staff to provide the ingredients for anything to happen. In this novel drawn from first-hand experience, the reader is exposed to the con, the continuous infighting, the violence and the politics of daily prison life. If you’ve been there, you know. If you haven’t, this extraordinary novel will take you there. The author was born in the American Midwest along the banks of the Mississippi river. At eighteen he joined the military service and spent nearly two years in the Middle East. While touring a Turkish jail he had his first glimpse of the barbarity and savagery of man against man. He has been published in several corrections magazines, has a degree in criminology and has had over twenty years experience in jail operations. 3
