TRIGGER WARNING**

This episode includes graphic content related to violence that some listeners may find disturbing.

This episode explores the first murderer I encountered while working in a jail. Right before assessing him for suicide risk, the charges spelled out the word “murderer,” and I expected to hear about the violent killing of a stranger. In reality, he was almost a kid himself and looked completely innocent. This case quickly showed me that a murder charge is not always what it seems — the circumstances were far more complicated than I had imagined, and this was part of what I was learning early in my career. The story offers an eye-opening look at the intensity of the case and the challenges of working in a correctional setting.

***TRIGGER WARNING***

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT CONTENT of sexual violence that some people may find disturbing.

This podcast contains graphic details of an interview with a convicted pedophile that I once worked with. He agreed to share the details of his sex crime against his two minor granddaughters. FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE. He describes his background prior to the abuse and how the sexual abuse developed, and the ways he molested them. The offender talks about how there were times when various family members were in the same room or house while he was molesting the children. He also disclosed that at one point, one of the victims did tell her parents and how was able to get around it by spinning the situation to the point that the child was again allowed to be around him and he was able to continue sexually abusing her. Additionally, his wife at the time had some level of knowledge and did nothing to protect these children. He discusses how he eventually got caught and the consequences that he faced.
