On January 6, I woke up knowing it was going to be a difficult day, but I had no idea that it would take the harrowing turn that it did.

I got interested in public service because I really felt like 'there but for the grace of God go I' in a lot of different cases, whether it was somebody getting in trouble with the law or not being able to become whatever they wanted to become.

I have much to say about the pain I've felt and seen inside of prison. It has been an eye-opening and harrowing experience.
