You know The Department Of Corrections is the wrong name for that industry because it does lack a lot of the correction that's supposed to be in there.
What happens when a life of prestige takes a sudden turn into the depths of addiction and incarceration? In this episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Michael Wilson and Maureen Cavanagh sit down with Andrew J. McKenna, author of 'Sheer Madness: From Federal Prosecutor to Federal Prisoner'. Andrew's story is a powerful tale of transformation, resilience, and the unexpected paths life can take. As a former U.S. Marine Corps Officer and Federal Prosecutor, Andrew seemed to have it all.
But addiction led him down a different road, one that ended in federal prison. Now, as the Co-Founder and President of Prison Consulting Solutions, he uses his experiences to help others navigate the complex prison system. The conversation covers the impact of addiction on families and communities, the stark realities of prison life, and the daunting process of re-entering society after incarceration. Andrew shares practical advice on preparing for prison, staying safe, and being productive behind bars.
He also highlights the crucial role of family support during these challenging times. Whether you're interested in the criminal justice system, addiction recovery, or personal stories of resilience, this episode offers a deep dive into the intersection of these critical issues.
