Depending on who you speak to….the head counselor at Leavenworth prison camp has been gone for a minimum of 4 months (but really I think it’s closer to 6 months). Most inmates are claiming over 6 months, but why exaggerate when you don’t even need to. How is possible for an integral part of staff […]
