"When Ben Langston took a job at the State Correctional Institution at Rockview, it was because there were few other options. At his previous job-putting labels on water bottles-he did not have cups of human waste thrown in his face. He did not have to finger sweaty armpits in search of weapons...

At his previous job-putting labels on water bottles-he did not have cups of human waste thrown in his face. He did not have to finger sweaty armpits in search of weapons. There were no threats against his life. But the jail paid better. Jail Speak is a memoir written from a guard's perspective.

It's a look at the inside that you didn't want to know about, and it's for mature audiences only. Know your limits"--  |c Provided by publisher.
