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.Nobody sets out to go to prison. Robert Reilly didn't either, but life's... more
