Federal Prison

I met a woman in prison who helped me understand what the word compassion means. Sandi came to my office in the CRC regularly to work on her résumé. I enjoyed her company and shared some of my story with her, and we became friends. When I told Sandi I was from Utah, she said, “You’re from Uta

I didn’t walk into prison Happy

I didn’t walk into prison happy joyous and free. I was angry. It felt unfair and I was brokenhearted. I was attached to my story. There was a lot of emotion involved and the pain I felt was intense. I remember a friend of mine in prison saying, “I just don’t want to stay stuck.” I said, “What do yo
