Paperback. Condition: 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."
