DJ Vodicka worked as a correctional officer in the state of California, in the USA.  For sixteen years he was a prison guard in the highest security prisons, serving meals to gang leaders, serial killers in lockdown cells, and patrolling exercise yards filled with violent felons while unarmed and outnumbered 1000-to-2. He belonged to an elite unit called the Investigative Services Unit, responsible for solving horrific crimes inside the walls. He became a whistle-blower when he uncovered a group of rogue prison guards who called themselves, The Green Wall. His state senate testimony exposed a scandal that led to resignations, transfers, sudden retirements, and reforms of the system. The story is a classic tale of the triumph of personal integrity in the most dishonest place imaginable.
