yThis is a true account of a young single mother's experiences as she worked as a correctional officer. Mayra Lopez did not like some of the ways the male correctional officers treated the inmates. She liked to treat them with respect and they respected her back. Some of the correctional officers would have liked to have seen Mayra sacked. But her connection with Michael Ross, I'd never heard of him before, was interesting

I would like to thank #NetGalley #VictoryEditingNetGalleyGroup and the author #MayaLopez for my ARC of #TheDarknessWithinPrisonWalls in exchange for an honest review.

I really appreciated Mayra Lopez sharing their story with the reader, it was engaging and enjoyed the story and the psychological element to this. It was written well and was hooked from the first page.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a pretty short book that gives a peek behind the walls and razor wire of prisons from the perspective of a female corrections officer. Her experiences with male inmates was interesting as she treated them with respect and usually got respect returned. The parts about Michael Ross were a bonus.
