24: History of the Leavenworth Prisons - Interview w/Ken LaMaster

In this episode, I talk with a friend, former co-worker, and Leavenworth Historian/Author - Ken LaMaster.   Ken retired after 31 years in the Correctional field which included working at the US Disciplinary Barracks, Kansas State Penitentiary, and the United States Penitentiary Leavenworth.   I have always enjoyed listening to Ken's stories and research, and I know you will enjoy hearing about his passion for Leavenworth's history also.   He is the author of Leavenworth Seven:  The Deadly 1931 Prison Break and U.S Penitentiary Leavenworth  - Images of America.   He has also worked with several TV shows to include, History Detectives, The Spirit of Hatred and Vengeance on PBS, and Chicago PD as well as others.Leavenworth Seven: The Deadly 1931 Prison BreakU.S. Penitentiary Leavenworth (Images of America)Send us Fan Mail Support the showNEW RELEASE — The Weight of Justice: Leadership Lessons from Inside America's Toughest Prisons: A Correctional Officer's JourneyBuy on Amazon or Kindle: https://amzn.to/3PLr5tRAvailable worldwide through Books2Read: https://books2read.com/WeightofJusticePOWER SKILLS: Emotional Intelligence and Soft Skills for Correctional Officers, First Responders, and BeyondAvailable on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4mBeog5See Michael's books and author updates at: www.CantrellWrites.com🎙️ Support The Prison Officer PodcastGo deeper with The Prison Officer Podcast on Patreon.
