Part 1 of Mia’s Interview: Bruce is with Mia, Mia was a Correction Officer for 3 years and in this very open and honest two part interview she shares the enormity of the prison experience and culture and the resultant impact it had on her. I found it quite confronting, in parts, and while Mia’s experience will not be everyone’s experience there is much in Mia’s story that resonated with me and highlight the complexity of working in a prison environment. It also brought home to me we have very little exposure to the psychological state of people leaving these systems, the state they leave in and the factors behind doing so.
