The viciousness and horrific events that took place there are still subjects of nightmares.Vic rose up the ranks and promoted to the rank of sergeant where he supervised and managed multiple correctional officers as well as several tiers of inmates.He then was promoted to be the first correctional magistrate of the penitentiary and the State of West Virginia. He conducted disciplinary hearings and doled out appropriate consequences and punishment. His knowledge of the procedures of policy allowed him to excel in this endeavor.The West Virginia Penitentiary closed down in 1995 because it violated the 8th amendment of the Constitution - "cruel and unusual punishment." But that was not the end of Vic's career. He continued his duties as the magistrate in the newly built Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility in Moundsville.At Northern, Vic was promoted as the Unit Manager and at one point, oversaw all the units in the facility. The Unit Manager was an administrative and supervisory role. He was responsible for leading a team that maintained safety and humane conditions for the inmates.After a short time, Vic was promoted again to be the Associate Warden of Programs with a multitude of duties. Under his management was education, volunteers, religious programming, and much, much more. After 26 years of incredibly valuable service, Vic retired. This book describes in vivid detail countless and amazing stories of Vic's interaction with inmates. The reader will be privileged to have a glimpse into what actually occurred within the "walls" of the penitentiary. After reading this book, you will possess a greater understanding of corrections and a man who gave his life in its service.
