Canadian Prison Guard to Transition at Work

[Carolyn Marie]

Tough environment to transition in. I give this woman a whole lot of credit for bravery and determination. Well done story, too.

Thanks for the link Carolyn,

Michelle has taken on transition working in a T loaded environment, gone public, & plans to do it while continuing the fight for our community...

Not an easy task by any measure. Sunlight may well be the best disinfectant.

And you are right. The story is very well done.

Thanks Carolyn,

I wish her luck. From my years working with the DOC I think that would be one of the most hostile places to try and transition on the job.

Awsome story. Scares the heck out of me though. I was a prison gaurd for awhile and cant imagine transitioning while doing that. Dealing with the inmates as well as the other gaurds. There are soo many hidden ways someone can do things to you in a prison. I am really amazed at her strength and bravery.
