The Steel-Bar Motel

Meer over het boek

An informer who is convinced he is with the C.I.A.; John and Blue, two inmates with an axe to grind; Alexander, who refused to be strip-searched; and the Dough Boy, a jovial burglar: these are some of the residents of the Steel-Bar Motel. Correctional training captain Ed Fedorowich has written a tough poignant, often funny and nearly always tragic memoir of his years at the now-defunct Seyms Street Jail in Hartford, Connecticut. These are real stories about real people, and their hopes, dreams and quirks. These are stories you won’t soon forget.
