Veteran Prison Sergeant's New Book Takes Comedic Look At Jail

'Laughter Behind the Tiers' by Sergeant Mike Szaban is a behind-the-scenes look at prison life.

Rutland, MA (PRWEB) February 28, 2008 -- Laughter Behind the Tiers by Sergeant Mike Szaban gives readers an insider's look at the comedy, drama and corruption that goes into running a jail.

For over 17 years, Szaban put his heart and soul into working in the sheriff's office. While tending prisoners, saving lives and serving the community, he soon began to collect a wealth of wise, funny, and even heartbreaking stories. In warm, compassionate prose, Szaban guides readers through these daily stories of prison life.

But there's another facet of jail life besides the prisoners. Elected officials, argues Szaban, are the worst choices for running a jail and the most prone to corruption. While Szaban worked to oust the old sheriff, little did he know that the new sheriff would be even worse. Refusing to bribe the sheriff, he soon found himself pushed from a job he loved, when he was only three years away from retirement.

Szaban has gathered together stories of dishonesty, fights, and the bonds forged between prisoners to craft an amusing, educational and insightful book. This is a terrific look into a seldom seen world by a bold new talent who readers will not forget.
