The Road Less Traveled

On this episode I explain how restitution works within the criminal justice system and my feelings towards it. Thank you for being respectful and listening.

On this episode I talk about the routine of jail, the irregularity of our surroundings, and some related stories. There are a couple of quick cuts/edits in the audio due to recording issues, although the overall episode isn't affected. Sorry! It's a one man job on my end. Thank you for listening.

A follow up discussion on the recent incident involving Derek Chauvin. Topical and newsworthy.

More comedic in tone, this episode is a general conversation on jail with a few of my experiences. I ramble a bit at times, but each topic naturally leads into a spiraling of stories. Next week will have a Part 2! Thank you for listening.

One of the many steps in the legal process is a preliminary hearing. The hearing is done to see if there is enough evidence to bind the case over to a higher court for trial. I think I forgot to mention that I was also and handcuffed and ankle-shackled during the proceedings. I guess it was in case I decided to make a run for it. (I wasn't going anywhere.) Thank you for listening. - db

The night of the accident where I was processed and taken in to jail. Jail itself was an eye opening experience and I had no idea what to expect going in. I was scared, confused, and in a lot of pain, but I'd also learned that I'd taken someone's life. It humbled me in a way I'd never thought possible. Thank you for listening.      - db

A recounting of the night of my car accident and subsequent arrest. This one is always hard for me to talk about, although it has gotten easier to tell over time. I was asked over and over again in both jail and prison what I was in for and had to say that I was in DUI accident where I had killed someone. I'm ashamed of what I've done and where I've been. I'm trying to find a way to understand and cope with that. Thank you for listening. - db

Greetings, I'm your host db. This short introduction is meant to explain the nature of this podcast - a digital diary about my experience being incarcerated, and how I ended up in a place I never imagined. Tragic, honest, and at times uplifting and funny, this is my personal story told in episodic format to help me cope and understand the things that I went through. I'd love for you to join in, but above all, please be respectful. Thank you for listening. - db
