UNITED STATES, July 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author Cutis Brown, a lifelong resident of Elmira, NY, and seasoned New York State Correctional Officer, announces the release of his poignant memoir, "25 Years of Hell" This compelling work offers a rare insider's perspective on the realities faced by black correctional officers within the New York State prison system.
