May 1st, I was released from Logan Correctional Center after serving eight years. Having worked at a County jail as a correctional officer myself, wearing the title "inmate," was needless to say, quite the humbling experience. 

I learned about life behind those bars. I learned of struggle and strength, brokenness and forgiveness, and I learned of true beauty.

This blog is to share some of my thoughts from both aspects. Not so much from a corrections aspect, but being "locked up" and now experiencing "real freedom" aspect...

I found my worth during my incarceration and I found out that beauty can be found in the ugliest of situations. So...these are my ramblings...feel free to ask questions or comment. My life is an open book...
