WRITERS ON THE BEAT: Retired CA-DOC Prison Warden and Bestseller James L'Etoile

   Critically acclaimed author and retired prison warden James Le'Etoile stepped into the Interrogation Room, just to clear up a few things. James's crime fiction has been recognized by the Creative World Awards,  Acclaim Film, and the Scriptapalooza Television Script Competition. BURY THE PAST was a 2018 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award finalist for Best Procedural of the Year. After working in probation, parole, investigations, hostage negotiations, and prison operations, James retired as a DOC warden and uses his decades of experience to fuel gritty crime stories with themes such as human trafficking, black market organ transplants, homelessness, and domestic terrorism.  In this episode, James spoke with host Gavin Reese about the realities of prison life on both sides of the bars, balancing authenticity in his writing, and how the carvings of death row inmates predict the future.
