I’m Going To Prison

I presented a training entitled “Suicide, Violence, Mental Illness, and Addiction” in a maximum security prison on a gloomy, rain-soaked day. I expected the mood to be somber. Could I have picked a more depressing topic?

The prison staff seemed to enjoy the presentation. People who worked difficult jobs in sometimes dangerous situations found things to laugh about. They enjoyed each other’s company.

I had been anxious about entering the prison, but after the presentation I wished I’d had time to talk to some of the prison staff. As I left for another training I thought, these folks refuse to let anything bring them down.

Today I won’t let anything bring me down.
