About this ebook
Please do not read if you want an entertaining narrative, a suspense or romance novel, a scientific or action thriller.
The following is a series of events that took place from 2000 to 2020. Two-thirds of that time I worked for Rikers as a correction officer (CO). In my defense, I must confess that I was too tall, too opinionated, too theatrical, too self-righteous, and I could not keep my mouth shut. If I repeat myself, it is because I think it must be repeated to make a point. Hopefully, documenting the events I experienced will bring me inner peace and maybe give hope to others who find themselves in similar circumstances.
This is the story of my recollection of some of the events that happened and often reminisce about. Everything is true. Most of it can be confirmed by newspaper articles, the many docketed federal and state lawsuits, and various other archives. Although I had a hand in trying to lift up a lot of people who were falling prey to the chaos and corruption that ran rampant throughout that whole department, at no time did I ever declare or think for one minute that I was anyone’s hero or savior.
