Incarceration, rehabilitation, recidivism: The reality of prison life and what it's like to be an inmate locked up behind bars.

Behind the Wire: Urban Shadows, Rural Light
Urban Shadows, Rural Light “A Country Boy Can Survive” (1982) by Hank Williams Jr. has always been my go-to song. It provided me with the strength and courage to confront my PREA abuser while incarcerated. The song holds a special place in my heart not only for its empowering message but also because of my personal connection to Hank Williams Jr. He resided in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, the same place where I was living when I became justice impacted. Although the song never reached number one, it is considered one of his signature tracks.
