The Road Less Traveled

A special episode of The Road Less Traveled focused on the realities of searching for a job fresh out of prison. I was feeling a tad frustrated having been on the receiving end of this multiple times. Even if it's deserved, it's embarassing and shameful at times. Thank you for listening.

Content Warning: A few stories about my experience in jail. There is adult language and potentially offensive situations contained in this episode, and while it's meant to be a first person account, please keep respectful and maintain an open mind. Thank you. 

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
