wow!
From beginning to end this book is amazing, each page leaving you wanting to read on to the next
From deciding to become a PEI and all of the hard work and dedication that Phil displayed in becoming one and a good one at that, to end his career the way it did was sad to read (sadly bully managers exist all over)
The book portrays just what a valuable commodity PE is in prison and how it (and Phil) has been such a positive influence on many prisoners
