Summary: Games Criminals Play
Review: As a newly hired correctional officer, not guard! I read this book from cover to cover and highly recommend it to anyone who works with any kind of convicted criminal on a daily basis. I work in a maximum security prison and in the first 5 weeks on the job have had every con and game mentioned in the book played on me. I did not realize that I was being setup until after I read the book which documents each step the inmates will do to turn you. While reading the book and going through the steps I was like "Oh my god I am on step 3!" The next day I put a stop to the games and most likely saved my career. Read the book if you are a correction officer!

Summary: You don't have to be a 'Con' to Survive in a Convict's World
Review: Games Criminals Play is a very easy to read, straight-forward account of the manipulations inmates are so skilled in often as a means of survival, and how easily susceptible the correctional employee can be. Accounts given demonstrate how easily the manipulations can begin; how difficult they can be to terminate, and how to proactively and professionally ward off the inmates' manipulative games. The book would serve anyone new to the corrections environment very well.

Rating:
Summary: An ANNUAL MUST READ for ALL Correctional employees
Review: I think that this book should be an annual training requirement for EVERY correctional employee! It reminds us that even a 'veteran' can be manipulated, and or set up by convitcts. The game never changes, Only the players!
