Preface

One could ask what goes on between the thick walls and the razor concertina wire fences of the penitentiary. What actually goes on is not what you have been told, heard, or have observed on most movies or television programs. What goes on inside the penitentiary will stay within the penitentiary. I personally believe the most accurate portrayal of the penitentiary life is the classic movie The Shawshank Redemption in 1994 with actors Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. But remember, this classic screenshot is only a movie.

Your imagination compiled with outside influence can give you a general perspective of what goes on the inside walls of the penitentiary. However, nothing on television or anything that has been told is further from the truth concerning the life in the penitentiary.

It is evident that to fully comprehend the entire picture of the inside of the penitentiary, an individual would have had been incarcerated at some point in their life and had been employed by the system to fully understand. In the following pages of this book, I will spell out what I have observed with my own eyes over the many years I was employed as a correctional officer on what takes place on the inside of the penitentiary. Sit back, take a deep breath, and let’s take a journey down this dark and dreary road of “looking from the inside out.”
