Acerca del autor
Lee Dickenson is a former corrections officer and advocate for prison reform. He spent 15 years working as a corrections officer, which gave him an intimate, high-stress view of the American penal system. He began writing as a therapeutic way to process the emotional and mental impact of his career. His blunt and uncompromising style in books like The Sounding Tree and The Keepers of the Keys led to significant backlash and even personal threats due to his exposure of systemic abuse. Dickenson has used his platform to campaign for better oversight and reform within state and federal prisons

Paperback. Condición: Near Fine. First Edition. A NEAR FINE, bright, tight, clean, crisp, collector-worthy copy. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the interior of the front cover: "Please enjoy this short walk in my shoes. Lee". "Prison is about power at its most basic level. But it's not just guards who have the power to physically and mentally abuse, and the power to terrify. Anyone can play power games inside the razor wire-inmates and officers, wardens and nurses. In "The Sounding Tree: Voices Along the Razor Wire" you'll learn the rules and the players."169 pages. "There are stories of the deaths of inmates at the hands of guards, or the deaths of guards at the hands of convicts. Some of these stories are true, but life behind the barbed wire is every bit as complex as life on Wall Street or Main Street. Lee Dickenson has been a corrections officer for 15 years and his account of the sordid world inside the stone walls surmounted by razor wire has a ring of authenticity rarely encountered in books about prison life."
