Life in Lockdown

re-size
Nobody sets out to go to prison. Robert Reilly didn't either, but life's unexpected choices threw him into a tortuous cell block. With visions of becoming a rock star, his dream was stolen and now his world is behind stark prison walls. He walks the halls of the Maine Maximum State Prison as a correction officer alongside crazed, murderous inmates who like him failed in choices. These are high profile men and women: murderers, drug dealers and killers. Reilly and the infamous homicidal maniacs he's in charge of have one thing in common: they want out. They're trapped in sentence. Reilly is trapped in family obligations. There's no way out. For Reilly music and writing are mental escapes. He uses his experiences to create ballads and stories to break out, leaving behind his days filled with abuse, horror and, at times, attempts on his life. Every prisoner has a story to tell--but mostly what they grumble is that they are not guilty. His dark, gritty days are contrasted in his everyday family life spent in Hope, Maine with his wife and children--although he never seems to truly escape from his prison existence; constantly in angst to return to a creative, fulfilling environment and become free from the mental and physical chains that bind him.

    I think our law enforcement officers and jailers put their lives at risk daily so we can live in what we consider safety. We should all be proud to have them. Some countries are lawless and no one cares who does what to anyone.

    It's sad that he has to go through that, he really does hate his job, and that's awful.

    I'm thanful that we have people that do it though.

    He does have a really nice voice.

    melodramatic?

    really?

    i would never do that for a living. Simply because i wouldn't survive as a gaurd of any living thing.

    good thing people like him have the ability to get up and go to work.

    because god knows i wouldn't.

    What a bunch of crap. I used to work with him. If he didn't like the job, fine. Why the need to add all the drama so he can feel like being creative again. He was not trapped in prison unless he wanted to be. Attention is all he is after. Go sing your song.
