Prison Days: True Diary Entries by a Maximum Security Prison Officer, August, 2018
Stabbings, murders, assaults. It's just another month in Max. Here we are with the exciting 3rd installment of the brutal Prison Days series. Working in this environment can desensitize some to the point where the 'horrific' is nothing more than a hiccup and the outrageous is seen as normal. But murder is murder and shit still is shit. Headlining this month's stories is a prisoner with a taste for something you have to read to believe; the demise of a young father and one unfortunate prisoner who gets into a very sticky situation. Plus all the usual fights, abuse and downright nasty exchanges between officers and prisoners.If you think you've heard it all before, guess again. Some of the experiences this month have even surprised me, and I really did think that I'd heard it all before.

I've just read all 6 books in the last few days,
These books are very gripping, but also very graphic, don't read this if you are easily offended and don't like violence.
It gives a true account if what happens in a high security prison, including, rape, assault and suicide.
I have to say I was surprised to hear what really goes on in this settings, from pat downs and cell searches to full anal and oral inspections.
A true eye opening and insightful series of books.
A solid 4⭐⭐⭐⭐ (would of given it a 5, but due to the nature, it dropped a point), yes I know that's the nature of the book, but that's just my opinion.

Another Quick Interesting Read
There isn’t anything that is deep and thought provoking in these books. They are, however, interesting and fun to read.
And now a bit of self-shaming. The author goes to great lengths to hide what prison he works at. He succeeded so well that until I finished this book, I didn’t even realize what country he worked in. I had assumed the US (because I live in the US). Nope, Australia. I should have realized it isn’t the US because the prison is way too laid back to be maximum security here, but it just never occurred to me to question.
On to book 4

Is it a good day or a bad day
You have to read it to find out. I love the fact that Simon plans his stories by only sharing what he feels his readers want to know. Simon also shares all the different tasks of the job. Something you never will get from TV.

Still some grammar issues
Interesting read but still has some grammatical issues and some of the stuff is repeating. I do find it interesting do to the fact that it is a different world.

Thoroughly enjoyable
I mean, being in prison is kind of mysterious and what's on tv isn't necessarily the right medium of knowledge, but I'm really enjoying this series, author has a good style of writing, easy to read with humor.
