DESCRIPTION:
Fulton Cook's experiences working in eight different prisons in the State of California. The names have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty!.

This is a straightforward, real world report of his experiences. Some of them are funny, some sad, some tragic, and some perhaps corrupt. "Prison Stories" is a compilation of short stories chronicling P
"Loved it" according to ToddyTwoTimes. This book is a great read! Also fast shipping.. "Great first book from this new author!" according to J Cook. Loved the stories! Each an honest and straightforward account of the author's experience. It was interesting to observe the changes as he moved up the ladder in the system. Something of the original "hippie counselor" remained even as he matured within the system. His sense of humor came through in many of the stories. I hope he writes more about his own personal life in the future. Definitely a good read. I highly recommend it.. The Daily Challenges Behind the Walls of Penal Institutions This is a real eye-opener into the lives of those working in our penal institutions. They truly take their lives in their hands every time they report for work. I always knew it was a challenging career but never understood just how challenging. It certainly requires one to be on their toes and have the right answers to situations we in the public community cannot imagine.
