Take a journey with the Author through twenty-five years ashe recounts some of the most interesting prison stories evercompiled and publicly disclosed. With a unique perspective that only a twenty-five yearcorrection officer can effectively communicate, Chris Leo takesus from 1982 to the present. As an Unarmed Defensive Tactics (UDT) Instructor and a member of the highly specialized Corrections Emergency response Team (CERT) the Author encountered more unusual instances than most. PRISON will astound the reader from inadequate security staffing levels that correction officers are forced to deal with on a daily basis to the most inept administrative decisions one could imagine. The job of a correction officer is as difficult as you can imagine, but after reading RISON you will now know why. Over thirty stories including: How Do Drugs Enter Prison? Water Torture, Electrocuted Inmates, Broken Arms and many many more. . . . .Leo captivates and tells all.

One of troubador/flaneur Chris Leo's claims to fame is that he holds the highest score on the rigorous New York City Tour Guide Exam. He's done a lot of walking in his days. Over the past decade, dividing his time between Manhattan and Cupra Marittima, Italy, the walking has amounted to a gamut of lyric texts reflecting his follies and diversions along the way in an apropos hodgepodge of formats. From his novels White Pigeons and 57 Octaves, which come with accompanying music and drawings, to his polylingual children's book Coomoococklemungmung, illustrated by Buenos Aires-based artist Francesca Massai, to albums with his word-burdened bands The Van Pelt, The Lapse and Vague Angels, the delivery is always the same: cat's paw on a very big mouse. Leo's fourth book, Feathers Like Leather, is a collection of short stories, poems and etymologies, each a raw and urgent account of his life abroad--even in his own hometown. From obsessive language dissection to personal sexual questionings, Leo lends a relentless charm to his writing that emanates from the page as if it's being sung.
