On the job less than a year with minimal training, 26-year-old correctional officer Calvin May was taken hostage during a riot in July 1980 at the Idaho State Penitentiary south of Boise. Today, the 61-year-old May keeps tabs on more than 1,500 inmates from his perch in Tower 2, above, at the same prison, now called the Idaho State Correctional Institution. One of Idaho’s longest-serving correctional officers ever, he credits his career in part to the insight he gained from his ordeal - and to the Bible he carried then and now.
