Wasted Honor

Revised July 27, 2010 -
Working for twenty five years inside the prison walls, it has become harder than ever to keep staff safe. Smaller budgets and less staff, employees struggle to keep their heads above water and be safe.This effort has become an ever lasting challenge. This book was written from a personal view to help understand the dynamics of working inside a prison no matter where it is. Correctional Officers are heroes but never recognized as such in our community.

Retired as a deputy warden and having the opportunity to work all custody levels I have been putting these thoughts into words. This book is written to be inspirational and provide insight how to focus on your dreams to attain your anticipated success in a most honorable and ethical way. Filled with adversity, challenges and reality, it is an inside view of your world inside the walls.

Watching your friends and family fall to the stress and politics; it is important we dont let these dreams turn into wasted moments and wasted honor.
