Book Description

When Leslie Nelson, a naive, small town girl, got a job as a prison guard, her friends called her a female Barney Fife. But that job turned out to be a unique on-the-job training for motherhood. This non-fiction short will take you inside the prison and share tips on how to avoid riots in your own home.

Leslie is the mother of five children (three teenagers, heaven help her!). Her youngest is seven so "parole" is a long way off.

Review: So, I have to admit, I love this title. I didn't have a clue what to expect. I mean, prison and children? The title alone made me smile. I know, I know; I'm not supposed to rate titles.
I loved the correctional officer perspective stories and really was surprised to find that this can be shifted to children. We all want the best for children, they are the future we (and they) depend on. And a correctional facility is not where we want them.
There are great ways and ideas that others may not have thought of. There are ways to be compassionate and loving to our children, without adding an over emotional angle that helps no one.
This is a quick read, but very valuable. It's a must have for parents (or those thinking about becoming parents). And I dare you not to smile while reading certain parts of this.

++I received this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review. This, in no way, changed the outcome of my review++
