Stilettos and Shanks

Stilettos and Shanks

Almost 14 years of walking the concrete jungle left me with a lot of stories to tell. Both good and bad. I decided to write this book to not only tell you some serious prison stories but also the funny ones. Also, to share what's it is like to be a female working in a male predominate profession with male offenders. It was by no means easy, and that career was not for the weak of heart or those with tender emotions. There were nights I would go home and cry for hours. I'd stand in the shower trying to scrub the skin off my body from disgust. I'd get fall down drunk trying to forget the things I've seen and heard. I was physically, mentally and emotionally ripped apart by this career. Both in a good and bad way. All in all, I can say that through my years, I learned and grew through my experiences with the Department of Corrections.
