It creeps in silently through routine, disguised as experience, until the moment when letting your guard down costs everything.\nDrawing from over three decades in corrections, including his early years at San Quentin State Prison, Russ Hamilton exposes the deadly nature of complacency in correctional work. This isn't another dry training manual—it's a raw, honest examination of real incidents where awareness made the difference between life and death.\nThrough gripping firsthand accounts—from the discovery of hidden weapons in his first week to the lessons of the infamous Black August riot—Hamilton demonstrates how routine can become the enemy of vigilance. Each chapter reveals the warning signs, the dangerous myths, and the practical strategies that can save lives.\nThis book is built from blood, sweat, mistakes, and survival. For correctional officers, supervisors, and anyone working in high-risk environments, it's a wake-up call and a roadmap to staying alert when it matters most.\nBecause in corrections, you don't get to choose when the test comes—only whether you're ready for it.\nAuthor Bio:\nRuss Hamilton began his corrections career in 1989 at San Quentin State Prison and spent over three decades working in California's correctional system. After retiring, he became a contributor to Tier Talk, a corrections training platform, where he shares insights and conducts interviews with industry veterans. His firsthand experience with some of the most challenging and dangerous situations in corrections has shaped his understanding of the critical role awareness and vigilance play in officer safety. This is his first book....\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FG8G3FLD\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FG8G3FLD.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hamilton ret., Sgt.
