Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-21 00:00:00 Martin Oswald Although the book is 15 years old it exposes the sad state of affairs of the CSC and the federal prison system. It quite rightly focuses and places the blame on the senior managers who routinely are more focused on the rights of violent and habitual, chronic, repeat, career criminals and not that of society and the correctional officers inside the institutions. All Canadians should read this book. As well as being more respectful and appreciative to those front line correctional officers at the CSC. They do their best to help keep us safe despite the asinine bureaucracy and moronic ideas of their national senior managers.
