Ret. State Senator Brent Waltz - POW Prisoner of Washington
Update: 2024-09-17
Description
Ever wonder how you’d fare in federal prison? For Indiana State Senator Brent Waltz this question became a shocking reality. After spending sixteen years serving his community in the Indiana Senate, he found himself being targeted by federal prosecutors who hoped he’d assist them in indicting his longtime friend—a wealthy Donald Trump supporter and fundraiser. When Waltz refused, those same prosecutors turned their attention toward him, resulting in a ten-month sentence for an alleged campaign finance violation. Waltz’s 176 days incarcerated in the Ashland Federal Correctional Institution provided him far better insight into the American justice system than anything he learned as a senator. His new book, POW—Prisoner of Washington (August 20th, 2024, Post Hill Press) aims to expose the blatant targeting of various political figures; to provide an unflinching view of federal prison, which Waltz compares to living in an episode of Hogan’s Heroes; and finally, to analyze the consistent political, societal, and economic corollaries found throughout US history.
