About this episode
This episode explores Megan's journey into the correctional system and her struggle between duty and identity.
Megan never saw herself working behind prison walls. But when family expectations collide with personal values, she finds herself donning a uniform—not out of passion, but out of a quiet hope to be seen, accepted, and maybe even understood. This episode explores Megan's journey into the correctional system, where she learns to navigate the tension between duty and identity. She makes observations about her peers who seem to judge her the same way they judge the ones they oversee. Do you choose approval for others or yourself?
