Inmates in Charge: Top-Level Leadership, Lacking Vision, Corrupt, & Couldn't Be Trusted is a compelling memoir of an African American chaplain's

journey in the US Air Force Chaplaincy, exposing racism within leadership. The author highlights his career in 1975 as one of just 26 African American

chaplains on active duty in the entire Air Force Chaplaincy. The leadership at the top levels of the Air Force Chaplaincy is referred to as "the inmates

in charge" by the author and other African American chaplains serving along with him, reflecting their mentality of superiority and control over

African American chaplains. This belief system, profoundly ingrained and perpetuated over generations, manifests in acts that reinforce racial

subservience.
