In this candid episode of Diary of an L.E.O., Sterling Brown sits down with a correctional officer who shares his unique journey from military service to life behind the walls of a county correctional facility. With honesty and depth, he explains the realities of working the midnight shift, balancing military reserves with corrections, and the lessons learned from enforcing policy while using judgment in split-second decisions.

The conversation explores:

• The crossover between military structure and corrections.
• The realities of use-of-force, OC spray, and accountability.
• The personal impact of seeing an old childhood friend behind bars.
• The sacrifices of family time due to mandated overtime.
• How corrections shapes character, awareness, and one’s perspective on society.

Listeners will gain an inside look at the often misunderstood world of corrections—its challenges, its parallels to policing, and its human stories. This episode reminds us that one mistake can change the course of a life, and that those working in corrections walk a fine line of discipline, judgment, and resilience every day.

Tune in for a raw, eye-opening conversation about the weight of responsibility, the reality of accountability, and the lessons learned from a profession that operates in the shadows of law enforcement.
