Maximum Security By Robert Muchamore: Summary

Throughout different stages in life, everyone embodies different forms of escaping reality. There are several healthy ways, such as exercising or meditating; however, alcoholism and drug abuse are also typical. Whether beneficial or not, everyone needs their own way of detaching from the stresses that come with everyday life. At Nottoway Correctional Centre in Virginia, what are known as lockdowns are often conducted.

The exclusionary rule is "a rule that disallows the use of illegally obtained evidence in criminal trials" (Exclusionary Rule). Security officers, in general, usually have the same authority as a citizen. The exclusionary rule generally does not apply to private security unless it is abusive or becomes an invasion of privacy (Chapter 7: Security and the Law). Facilities that hire private security personnel should always have clear policies on what is and what is not allowed, such as for search and seizure. In cases of force, training and adequate documentation of that training is required.

“The Power of Vulnerability” is one of Brené Brown’s “most popular talk” in TED (“About | Brené Brown, Ph.D.,” n.d.) Here, she discussed what she have found and learned from her long research in human connection, specifically about the concept of vulnerability and its essential role in our everyday life. Brown (2010) started off with the idea that we relate vulnerability to negative emotions and towards the end, she showed that it is the “birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love” as well and the “way to live.” Moreover, she suggests that if we “let ourselves be seen,” we expose ourselves to the different things in life that give “purpose and meaning” to us and live a better life out of it (Brown, 2012, par. 1).

This book interests me because it has a lot of action. “Shoot him! Shoot him!” three shotguns in rapid succession. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Sam fired back.
