73: Part 1 - All I Know is Corrections - Interview with Bronner "Bama" Allen

In this episode, I talk with Bronner "Bama" Allen about his interesting career that started at The North Carolina Department of Corrections which led to a 21-year career with Federal Bureau of Prisons where he retired.  But Bama wasn't done yet, he returned to where he had started at The North Carolina Department of Corrections, and where he still works today.  His story shares the human side of corrections,  as he discusses the experiences that shape the men and women who don the uniform, and the shared journey that both scars and strengthens them.This episode is Part 1 of 2, be sure listen to Episode 74 - Part 2 - When Stress Tries to Kill You - Interview with Bronner "Bama" Allen We can all help prevent suicide.
