Inspired by a True Story

Corruption in the Division of Corrections captures the life of a female correctional officer II who was victimized inside the corrupt system of DPSCS from 2015 to 2019. It tells of the magnitude of inhumane treatment she endured: the false medical report that was made against her by the state medical directors; intentional denial of job opportunities; interference with her accumulative leave hours, paychecks, and pay increase; and illegal termination from the state service. She talks of the frame-up she experienced and of witnessing some of the treatment of other correctional officers. The book tells of the corrupt system of DPSCS that everybody knows but nobody talks about, including the impact the corrupt system has created inside the correctional facilities alongside the sexual exploitation and the trading of sex for positions and protections. She also talks about the medical condition she suffered as a result of a long-term internalized trauma and of depressed mood and adjustment disorder caused by work-related stress. Lastly, she tells of her right to receive therapeutic treatment requested by the psychologist, but again, the DPSCS intentionally deprived her of it. Instead, they illegally terminated her and left her with nothing to fall back on while she is recovering.
