Synopsis
This sequel to HOGGS: Prison Journals delivers more true accounts of the staff’s daily lives and interactions with inmates in the State of California Department of Corrections.
These journals offer a snapshot of the challenges of the job mixed with insight, humor, and the good and bad decisions of staff. Although the writing is bent to the jargon of the correctional environment, the lay person is continually educated in the processes used by staff to navigate the changing rules and regulations of the department. While staff, current and retired, may recognize certain details of incidents, institutions, and personnel, they soon realize that the literary license of the author allows the story to take on its own version of reality. For my HOGGS sisters and brothers, be safe.
The saga continues.
About the Author
I was born in Oklahoma and my family moved to the San Pablo/Richmond Bay Area in California, in around 1952. I grew up in the best of times the ‘60s and graduated from Richmond Union High School in 1965. I currently live in Placerville, in the California foothills.
I worked almost every kind of job, but finally settled in and worked for the California Department of Corrections and survived there for 26 years; ending up as a Sgt Instructor. That experience gave rise to my two published creative non-fiction books about corrections: HOGGS: Prison Journals and HOGGS II: Prison Journals.
My non-dystopian science fiction novel, S.I.C.Q., is an intriguing existential exercise of man’s reaction to the discovery of alien presence in the universe. I am currently writing a sequel to S.I.C.Q., entitled, S.O.S., and when that is completed I will continue penning sequels to HOGGS and S.O.S.
