Scott Walker's former Corrections leader releases tell-all book: 'Unethical'
Matthew DeFour | Wisconsin State Journal

Gov. Scott Walker’s former Department of Corrections secretary on Friday released a tell-all book accusing the governor and state attorney general of deception and inaction in addressing abuse allegations at Wisconsin’s youth prison — just months before they both stand for re-election.

Ed Wall’s book, titled “Unethical: Life in Scott Walker’s Cabinet and the Dirty $ide of Politics,” bills itself as a “look behind the curtain” of Walker’s administration and the events leading up to Wall’s departure from Corrections and firing by Attorney General Brad Schimel in April 2016.

In the book, Wall says he nearly committed suicide after Schimel fired him and word got out to the press. He said he wanted Walker and Schimel “to know how badly they had hurt me and my family. I wanted their dishonesty, their deceit, their injustice, their unethical actions, to burn in their souls for the rest of their lives.”

Okay, there is a buzz about this book. But who would have ever thought about a book by a former Secretary of Corrections in a state such as Wisconsin would be of importance or have a market?

BTW, there are a number of articles on this book, so if one is interested, one should look at articles for both sides.
