title: Corrupt: Rise To Power
author: Miss D
description: The author, affectionately called "Miss D," by the inmate population is a firm, fair and impartial Correction's Officer in the state of Maryland. CORRUPT- Rise To Power is a story she wrote based on years of ear hustling on inmate conversations. Also from spying into their prison underworld. Some of it is clearly fiction stolen from real life. But much of it, those who have been incarcerated, or ever worked in the penal system will confirm is fact. This story also contains accounts from a particular high profile criminal case that rocked Baltimore City when it became public in 2013. Information that the mainstream media, the F.B.I. and even Internal Affairs were not privy to. You just had to be there. What do you get when you cross OZ with THE WIRE, and then add to that a splash of SCANDAL? CORRUPT - Rise To Power!
