Not Our Brother’s Keeper

From the day Melker Stec had his head smashed against his brother’s by an abusive father, he suffered from visual and auditory hallucinations.

But somehow, he managed to achieve a successful career as a Georgia state employee, including as a correctional counselor and governmental analyst. Along the way, he witnessed rampant corruption.

In this memoir, Stec reveals how he overcame so many obstacles only to engage in a crime of passion that resulted in him going from a prison correctional counselor with peace officer status to a wanted man.

While on the run, he worked in influential positions, including with the Georgia Department of Corrections in a specialized position. While the FBI was searching for him, he was right under their noses, traveling to prisons throughout Georgia and meeting with prison authorities.

From battling obsessive-compulsive disorder to evading capture, trying to survive in prison, and navigating life as a free man, Stec shares his inspirational story in Not Our Brother’s Keeper.
