After a few years of working in Saudi Arabia as a hired gun in various security-related jobs, he became a cop, working first in Passaic, N.J., where he was the county's youngest jail warden ever.

Prosecutors at the trial of Valdes - who was awaiting execution for murdering a Palm Beach County corrections officer in 1987 - contended that one of the reasons he was beaten was the letters he'd begun writing to the media about abuses at Florida State Prison under its then warden, James Crosby. That made it all the more surprising when Bush appointed Crosby secretary of the state's Corrections Department in 2003.
