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.

Why Lie?

News12 video interview

Watching the news we have become desensitized to the good, the bad and the ugliness of the reports shown on television and in the newspapers. We have been reprogrammed to not react and let it pass as another event insignificant to our own lives. Society has accepted lies as a means to tell the story and nobody questions the contents of the reports out there and challenge it with the truth.

Contesting the accuracy of various press releases or public statements from public officials may in fact reveal interesting facts of a cover up or a deliberate attempt to distract and divert the attention to something else. The tactic works well and is commonly called a “smoke and mirror” game by some.

The truth is often buried as the evidence to contest the released information exists but suppressed through fear and intimidation of witnesses or participants. Those that knew about the events will not say what the evidence to the contrary is and leave a “sleeping dog lay” so they don’t have to be involved. Hence there are no contradictions and no issues to resolve.

When a press release is offered as an explanation of an incident it is often left open for interpretation as it flatly denies any culpability or prior knowledge of the matter but is now politically corrected to show action is about to be taken or has been taken to address the matter. The strategy is simple – people forget.

Plausible deniability is a strong management tool. It exonerates the very same people that might have created the problem or event by playing the part and being ignorant to the facts. You can tell people that you weren’t aware of the problem and that you will immediately address it now that they understand it better.

Playing the part of having no prior knowledge gives them more time to perform a delicate sanitizing of the problem and initiate damage control.

Realistically, as a loyal employee one would have a hard time believing they didn’t know about it and that nobody bothered to tell him of this matter when they knew about it. It appears to have appeared out of thin air and will now require a strategy of planning, execution and implementing change after it was over or disclosed and first found out about it.
