    A podcast about what it’s like to go to prison in Canada. This is my own first-hand account. This is me, telling my story of incarceration. I’ll guide you through getting arrested, going to court, going to prison, living out a significant amount of time as an inmate, and then rejoining society. I’ll take you through the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of prison life.

  • Inmate Property
    Aug 31 2024

    Most people know the things you can’t have in prison, but what exactly are you allowed to have? What do the institutions provide, what can you bring of your own, and how do you get it? This episode explores the personal property that federal inmates are permitted to have with them while they are incarcerated in Canada. Some items are important to some but not to others. What would you bring with you? In this episode I will offer up the best advise I can give surrounding personal property. If you are on your way to prison or know someone recently incarcerated, this episode is for you.

  • A Guilty Man
    Sep 14 2024

    Bail granted, surety decided, now what? What can I do? Where can I go? Who will still be around? Life changed hard for me during this time. I am grateful to have been granted bail no matter the major life adjustment. Days are long yet time is fleeting. There is so much work to do to get ready for court. How do you even get ready for something like this?

  • Destination Joyceville
    Oct 12 2024

    A lot goes into a moving day, relocating from one place to another. Especially when that move is from a jail cell to a prison cell. After some time in provincial it’s now time to transfer to a federal prison. And yes, jail and prison are very different places. It’s been one heck of a heck of a journey to get to this point; I needed to be arrested, convicted and sentenced before I could come to this place. I also needed to be driven for a few hours to get there. Worst. Road trip. Ever.

  • To Each Cell A Man
    Jan 1 2025

    Canadian prison is a world unto itself. I made some bad and stupid choices so my life took me there and this episode will walk you into what it’s like to enter that prison world for the very first time. A federal prison sentences often starts at the Joyceville Assessment Unit, formerly the Pittsburg Institution. Here things can go as expected, times are often mundane, and sometimes there are events that are simply unpredictable. Volatile and fickle do not go well together, yet that's part of what it’s like. There is so much to unpack and take in during those first few hours. Learn quick. Learn the playbooks.
