Content warning: this story contains descriptions of violence and abuse. From the project Uncuffed: In my time in prison I have noticed that a lot of the men around me are incarcerated for some form of domestic violence. Floyd Henley is one of those men. Throughout his stay, he has not only attempted to change himself, but has changed the lives of many of the people around him. Domestic violence is something we rarely used to talk about. What happened behind closed doors, stayed behind closed doors. In Floyd’s class, men talk about the roots of their violent behavior.
