You have landed on the right page. I am a decorated 14 year prison officer, serving many positions in New Hampshire, and Florida.
I have seen a lot, some I hope to never see again. I have spoken to an untold number of inmates about life. I have watched men of all races leave the gates after serving their time—excited, with dreams and ambitions, going out to retake their lives. Some would never return; others within a short time would be back in the yard, with their heads hanging down, a sense of failure.
