On 29 January 1984 at 5:20 AM Gary Stammen walked into a cell block of the maximum security prison in Oxford Wisconsin and made the horrific discovery of the mangled body of his friend and co-worker Correctional Officer Spikerman. This is a true story.

The story of the bloodiest day of my Supermax prison carrier.

The guy who tried to escape with a hijacked helicopter. He was doing life in prison for air piracy. He got a lady killed who tried to break him out of prison.

While on a trip to The Bronx, New York City I noticed some real similarities between that place and USP Marion, The Supermax prison.

You heard of the Blind Sheik who orchestrated the 1st bombing of the word trade center in 1993. I knew the clown who rented the vehicle they used and tried to get the deposit back on a vehicle that was blown to bits.

Who am I and what qualifies me to talk about a Supermax prison? Why don't you hear other Correctional Officers talking?

I meet a young man who was deported from the USA for a minor drug sale case. A small crime can have life changing consequences.

Prisoners sometimes set their own locked cells on fire. Makes for some good times in the cell block.

I stood and watched prisoners being beaten. Sometimes almost to death while I waited.

I was investigated for a wide variety of crimes I was accused of commiting while working at a Supermax prison in Illinois.
