Policeman/author hopes to get prisoners to see cops in new light
So you’re sentenced to life in prison in the Nevada Department of Corrections. Your cellmate is a guy named Zeke who reeks. The guards caught you sneaking a spoon out of the cafeteria, so now they’re evil-eyeing you everywhere. You got in a fight with some freak in the yard, and now you’re locked down 23 hours a day, counting cockroaches like sheep before sleep. Randy Sutton has you right where he wants you. The Metro lieutenant just released his third book, a compilation of true stories about life on the police beat, written by officers across the country, and he wants you, prisoner, to read it. He wants you to see that police — you remember them, those people who put you behind bars — are human.
