Elephant Keepers: Reflections of a Prison Warden

By Lenard Vare

Lenard Vare became the youngest prison warden in the state of Nevada at the age of 33. The book recounts his experiences with racism, violence, corruption, investigations, mental health issues, and the severe impacts of losing close friends, family, and inmates to suicides. His leadership was shaped by the events in his life leading to successfully running a gang-involved youthful offender prison outside Las Vegas. Elephant Keepers is a book based on his years managing correctional institutions while continuing to maintain compassion, empathy, and kindness towards others.
