The Crucible of a Jailer Zachary Graham

Jails are not outside of society, but a segregated society contained within a larger community. The city within a city operates day and night with one goal; to provide safety and security for those who stand accused of criminal actions. As a jailer, you must operate within the law and agency policy in the quest for maintaining order, discipline, and safety despite the challenges thrown your way.



If you want to work in a jail, or are already working in one, then you need to read this cover to cover. If you have a family member or loved one working in a Jail, and you wonder why they've changed and want to understand them, then you should read this book. If you have found yourself wondering how jails operate and how it impacts accused citizens and challenges those working inside, then you too should explore these pages.



A concentration of challenging and predatory personalities, limited resources for appropriate infrastructure and difficulties in maintaining enough high-quality jailers to operate it make this career a "Crucible of Service" to your community. You will be challenged, you will be changed, and it is up to you to prepare yourself for one of the most challenging careers there is.
