Correctional Officer Mom

You all know how much I love Michael, because I tell you how much I love Michael. He sent me a Christmas card, with a lovely (but unprintable) Holiday Christmas Cardnote inside as well as delicate flattened flowers. And this year I have to remember to send a Christmas card to him. Today.

But as with everything in life, there should be no surprise that opinions and points of view are many varied, even when it comes to prison life. Through Prison Pete, and the letters from Michael herein, you’ve seen one side of the life—that of the lonely prisoner, grudgingly serving out his time and paying his debt to society. From Tammi in Texas, you get the trials and tribulations of an ex-con, trying to find love, balance and acceptance from the world around her. Here on my blog, you get to hear the anger, sadness, and joys of the sometimes loyal, sometimes inconsolable partner-on-the-outside, biding his time in the best way he knows how.

GuardedNow I present for your reading pleasure everything else inside, written by “CO Mom”, life and times of a sympathetic but hardened female correctional officer. CO Mom hasn’t posted anything for a few weeks, but what she has posted is interesting and provocative. Her byline is, “I have an opinion. Maybe you want hear it, if not get lost!”

Be brave, take a read!
