I use this man's actual name in this chapter because of the type of man he was. As far as I could tell, no man was held in higher regard than this man. Sgt. Dodge was highly respected by officers and inmates alike. He spoke to us for a couple of hours during our academy.

He showed us pictures of himself when he was beaten and taken hostage back in a 1980 riot in Stillwater Prison.

He spoke of seeing inmates dive off tiers to get away from bees and bats.

He stated that he was a survivor of Acute Myologenoush Leukemia.

He had a BA in philosophy, was working on an MA in education and a PHD in something else. He viewed himself as a “correctional counselor.”

He said that he tried hard to connect with people and inspire them to be better.

He felt that he turned around 1 inmate every 2 years.

He said that there were a few inmates that became his friends and that he was still in contact with since they had been released.
