I've been in the Jail bussiness now since 1996, and I can tell you that a read of this book will instantly give you a years expereince or better in the corrections proffession. It includes all the "tricks" that inmates and criminals use to "get one over on you" Since these people have nothing to do all day but dream up new crimes and manipulation techniques, the knowledge this book will impart will allow one to "see them coming a mile away". Reading this book will enhance ones safety both in the corrections environment and on the street.

This book should be a MUST READ before anyone is allowed to work behind the doors of any Correctional Institution, whether it be a County Jail or State Prison. This book could save your life and career. Easy reading, but filled with valuable information.
You don't have to be a 'Con' to Survive in a Convict's World September 14, 2000
34 out of 34 found this review helpful
Games Criminals Play is a very easy to read, straight-forward account of the manipulations inmates are so skilled in often as a means of survival, and how easily susceptible the correctional employee can be. Accounts given demonstrate how easily the manipulations can begin; how difficult they can be to terminate, and how to proactively and professionally ward off the inmates' manipulative games. The book would serve anyone new to the corrections environment very well.
A must for anyone in corrections! April 17, 2001

This book has great information for those in the career field of corrections or anyone who works with criminals or inmates. Some of the information covers the psychological reasons and steps. If nothing else read the scenarios of actual cases. It will definitely make you look closer at your own actions as well as those of the offenders. Learn not to get burned. Read this book!
An ANNUAL MUST READ for ALL Correctional employees May 14, 1998
24 out of 25 found this review helpful
I think that this book should be an annual training requirement for EVERY correctional employee! It reminds us that even a 'veteran' can be manipulated, and or set up by convitcts. The game never changes, Only the players!
