It was the end of the road for me. After being found guilty, sentenced to years in prison, and having to register as an offender for the rest of my life- there was just no way forward. Before I even hit my mid-twenties, my life was completely flipped upside-down, and I thought that this was how my tragic story would end.

It just didn't add up. Before this incident, I had never been in an ounce of trouble in my life. I grew up educated, was raised in an affluent community, and had never strayed far from the typical life path. Well I'm innocent, right? For a long time I truly believed that I was. I wholeheartedly thought that I hadn't broken any laws- and it wasn't until I took a soul wrenching ride through the depths of hell that I could see the scary truth looking back at me. I was guilty.

Cell Block Mirrors isn't just a prison-thriller. It's a deep dive into the emotional and vulnerable aspects of who we are as a society. It's an exploration of what makes us human, and a journey on one of the realest and most heart-thumping rollercoasters you could imagine. This story is about how I found myself through it all, and in some odd but extraordinary way- how prison saved my life.
