Wasted Honor -

Carl R. ToersBijns is the author of the Wasted Honor Trilogy [Wasted Honor I,II and Gorilla Justice] and his newest book From the Womb to the Tomb, the Tony Lester Story, which is a reflection of his life and his experiences as a correctional officer and a correctional administrator retiring with the rank of deputy warden in the New Mexico and Arizona correctional systems.

Carl also wrote a book on his combat experience in the Kindle book titled - Combat Medic - Men with destiny - A red cross of Valor -

Carl is considered by many a rogue expert in the field of prison security systems since leaving the profession. Carl has been involved in the design of many pilot programs related to mental health treatment, security threat groups, suicide prevention, and maximum custody operational plans including double bunking max inmates and enhancing security for staff. He invites you to read his books so you can understand and grasp the cultural and political implications and influences of these prisons. He deals with the emotions, the stress and anxiety as well as the realities faced working inside a prison. He deals with the occupational risks while elaborating on the psychological impact of both prison worker and prisoner.

His most recent book, Gorilla Justice, is an un-edited raw fictional version of realistic prison experiences and events through the eyes of an anecdotal translation of the inmate’s plight and suffering while enduring the harsh and toxic prison environment including solitary confinement.

Carl has been interviewed by numerous news stations and newspapers in Phoenix regarding the escape from the Kingman prison and other high profile media cases related to wrongful deaths and suicides inside prisons. His insights have been solicited by the ACLU, Amnesty International, and various other legal firms representing solitary confinement cases in California and Arizona. He is currently working on the STG Step Down program at Pelican Bay and has offered his own experience insights with the Center of Constitutional Rights lawyers and interns to establish a core program at the SHU units. He has personally corresponded and written with SHU prisoners to assess the living conditions and how it impacts their long term placement inside these type of units that are similar to those in Arizona Florence Eyman special management unit where Carl was a unit deputy warden for almost two years before his promotion to Deputy Warden of Operations in Safford and Eyman.

WARNING - GRAPHIC MATERIAL - FIVE MAN TWO STEP WITH SHIELD


Tis was the afternoon shift that was fast and furious

For it was on this shift that we rock and rolled

When they asked me to go to the dance, I said I got two left feet

But they told me that four others dressed in black I would meet

He said hold the shield as close as you can

Hold it with all your strength and fire

For we are about to do a dance

To a soul with vertical expressions

But will surely result in a horizontal desire



So we move with fluidity but rigid in desire

And you can’t really translate the feelings oh so higher

As we stand in place with a hostile foe vertical toe to toe

With someone with a horizontal desire



We did the two-step we did the mambo and even the tango

We poured over him like water pouring over polished steel

And the music in our heads strung a tune of adrenalin higher

As the opponent wished and got a horizontal desire



We held onto each other like a link in a stainless steel fence

Not giving the opponent a fighting chance

And when the music stopped and our hearts were on fire

We conquered the soul with a horizontal desire.



Taking nothing for granted we stayed high all night long

So it was time to dim the lights as we ended our dance that night

And looking into the sky where the moon and stars were smilin

We, the five of us knew it was time to retire

As we danced again for the purpose of taking a soul

From a vertical expression to a horizontal desire.
