county sheriffs;

Jim Daly is the author of two books:
Lockdown Madness and Behind Steel Doors.
According to the book description of Behind Steel
Doors, in this book the reader will be allowed to visit the dark side
of jail and what goes on inside one. It is about hard-core prisoners who have
nothing to lose, the games they play, and how they assault fellow prisoners or
brave jailers. It includes responding to emergency calls, and how all the
madness builds up behind the big steel doors of jail for prisoners and jailers
alike. This book will definitely show some statistics reported and incidents
that have occurred.
According to the book description
of
Jim Dalys book Lockdown Madness,
step inside the walls of one of the largest correctional facilities in the
United States and the madness experienced by not only the inmates but also the
men and women who are charged with guarding them. This book details the career
of a former
Marine and
U.S. Army National Guardsman who devoted his
entire career to protecting society from murderers and rapists, drunks and drug
addicts. The stories told in this book are true, and the author makes no
apologies for the language and the violence that occurred inside the living,
breathing demon known as a jail. Come inside, if you dare!

a page turner from the beginning! Both true crime fans and non true crime fans
will be completely amazed by the unfolding of this true tale of horrific murder
in America's Heartland. Blood Trail opens with the August, 2000 brutal murder of
Ginger Gasaway in Indiana, a death that shocked the nation when her cold,
calculated killer took investigators to three different counties to recover her
