I was in 2 Prisons.
One Physical. One Mental.
The physical version was Otisville Federal Prison.
My mental prison, my personal hell, was the all-consuming power of Shame. Hurting the one I love, disappointing my family, letting myself down. Ignoring the voice inside that told me not to commit the fraud.
