UniBook Book Release: ATL Jail - Untold Stories

July 26, 2009 - PRLog -- UniBook is proud to announce the publication of Officer CC’s book, ATL Jail: Untold Stories.

For many people who dwell in the “scribbling arts”, stories about prisons and jails involve glamorized plots woven by story masters who have degrees from prestigious Universities – and precisely zero personal experience with a real jail setting. They learn about prisons and jails from the same sources as the rest of us: newspapers, television, movies and books.

A Peek Into Another World

ATL Jail: Untold Stories is a non-fiction work that takes the reader on an inside tour of the life and lifestyle of a big city jail system corrections officer. The setting is the City of Atlanta Jail System. The Officer’s name is “CC”, and the dramas, corruption, and danger are real. This is the type of world most people never know; never have the opportunity to see first-hand, but are curious about nonetheless.

An Authentic Book

In writing circles, authenticity of voice is often promoted as one of the most important aspects of developing a story. ATL Jail: Untold Stories takes the goal of authenticity to a level rarely seen in a published book. The reader hears first-hand how a big city corrections officer speaks through words on the page.

ATL Jail: Untold Stories is a book that may be challenging for some to read. It contains grammar that is not consistent with any published style guidelines. But as the reader dives into the book, he or she realizes that the story couldn’t really be told any other way, and it is a story that will not be forgotten.
