<\/center><\/p>\nSome books have rough covers; others, frightening covers.<\/p>\n
Some of those same books also have stories within them to match their covers.<\/p>\n

The detention deputy was sitting at his desk when the inmate attacked. The deputy is 64; the inmate 40 years his junior.<\/p>\n
Deputy Kenneth Moon had another disadvantage: He was the sole deputy in a jail pod that houses 62 inmates. The only nearby people who could help him were there because they have been charged with attempted murder, home invasion, drug dealing.<\/p>\n
And yet they did.<\/p>\n
The first one, Jerry Dieguez Jr., is in jail on an armed home invasion charge. When he saw inmate Douglas Burden put Moon in a chokehold, Dieguez didn’t hesitate.<\/p>\n
He ran behind the desk and landed a haymaker of a punch on Burden.<\/p>\n
Inmates Hoang Vu and Terrell Carswell also provided backup. […]<\/p>\n
