Time behind bars as a former man of the law - Fmr Lieutenant John Kennedy

from One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Former Lieutenant John Kennedy was a decorated officer with the Detroit Police Department—a man driven by a deep desire to help others, protect the innocent, and bring criminals to justice. Over the course of his career, he was shot at multiple times, struck by a car, arrested countless suspects, and even served on close protection detail, prepared to take a bullet for someone else.But today, this officer with a spotless record finds himself on the other side of the justice system. Kennedy faced federal charges and ultimately served time in connection with a Detroit towing company corruption scheme—an investigation that saw numerous police officers and city officials charged with bribery.In this episode, I sit down with John, now back home on parole after completing his prison sentence. We talk about his time behind bars, what life is really like for a former law enforcement officer in prison, and whether the experience has changed his perspective on incarceration—and the people who end up there.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.
