Inside A Prison: Visiting My Dad When I Was Young

A snowy hill, a swing set, and two kids smiling at the camera—what you can’t see is the watchtower just beyond the frame. I share the story behind a photo taken inside a New York State maximum security prison, where weekend trailer visits promised a temporary version of home.

We pull back the curtain on how those visits worked—groceries through security, IDs surrendered, counts called in the cold—and why a teenager would choose to spend precious weekends under prison rules. Along the way, I talk about what happens when the myth of a parent collapses and how I stopped confusing endurance with loyalty.

The conversation moves from edge to softness, from hyper-vigilance to accurate naming of what hurts and what simply disappoints. We explore the idea that people love only to the depth they love themselves, and how to protect your heart without hardening it beyond repair.
