Inside the Dark Underbelly of Rikers Island: (A Retired Female Correction Officer Speaks Out)

Part of Robin K Miller is still locked up inside Rikers Island, along with the spirit of her deceased sister. The current upheavals and violence taking place in and around the infamous Island are also taking place inside Robin’s tortured heart. A correction guard at Rikers Island for 20 years, Robin’s story is not merely a bold and brave expose of what really happens ”behind closed doors”, it is the deeply intimate and wrenching odyssey of a woman who has survived the un-survivable, and who is committed to sharing her truth. Her story is the ultimate triumph over darkness and corruption. The other story is that of an institution riddled with decay and corruption. Together theirs form a strident call to action for the entire American penal system.
