TRIGGER WARNING**

This episode includes graphic content related to violence that some listeners may find disturbing.

This episode explores the first murderer I encountered while working in a jail. Right before assessing him for suicide risk, the charges spelled out the word “murderer,” and I expected to hear about the violent killing of a stranger. In reality, he was almost a kid himself and looked completely innocent. This case quickly showed me that a murder charge is not always what it seems — the circumstances were far more complicated than I had imagined, and this was part of what I was learning early in my career. The story offers an eye-opening look at the intensity of the case and the challenges of working in a correctional setting.

Throughout the episode, the privacy of the individual is maintained to protect their identity while sharing insights from the case.
