"Call me what you want--corrections officer, C.O., guard, jailcop,
turnkey--I helped keep people there against their will. For this,
the jail rewarded me with food." When Ben Langston took a job at
the State Correctional Institute at Rockview, it was because there
were few other options. At his previous job--putting labels on
water bottles--he did not have cups of human waste thrown in his
face. He did not have to finger sweaty armpits in search of
weapons. There were no threats against his life. But the jail paid
better. Jail Speak is a memoir written from a guard's perspective.
It's about the grind, about dehumanization, drama, punishment, and
the cycles of harm perpetrated by the prison industry. It's about
masculinity and conformity and emotional detachment. It's a look at
the inside that you didn't want to know about, and it's for mature
audiences only. Know your limits.
