Summary
How does an encounter with God change the way you treat people in some of the darkest places on earth? In this episode, I talk with author Lee Monroe to explore his near-decade of experience as a corrections officer. We navigate the gritty realities of the prison system , uncovering wild contraband like homemade swords and D&D dice , and dispelling myths about what it means to be a "guard." Lee shares how his conversion to Christianity completely altered his interactions with inmates and shifted approach. We discuss the extreme tension between strict justice and unmerited grace.
