With extensive research, first-hand accounts and interviews with family members, author and University of New Mexico professor Dirk Cameron Gibson provides a multi-faceted historical account of one of the prison riots. most violent in American history.

In “The Incredible Ordeal of Michael Schmidt: The 1980 Riot at New Mexico Penitentiary,” Gibson provides readers with a detailed and exceptionally well-researched report on the 1980 riot that took place at New Mexico Penitentiary. The book also serves to highlight the critical importance of addressing prison reform to avert future riots across the country.

“I want to remind people that prisons are underfunded and prison reform is needed to prevent potential violence,” Gibson said.

Gibson was introduced to Michael Schmidt and his story of being violently attacked during the riot while serving as a correctional officer at the prison.
