Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is DeAnna, and I'm here to share my story—a story that took a turn I never expected. From working as a correctional officer to becoming a prisoner's wife, my life has been a journey of love, resilience, and transformation. But more than that, this blog is about so much more than just my story. It's about providing support, resources, and raising awareness for those who, like me, have found themselves navigating the shadows of the justice system.
I started my career as a correctional officer, believing in the system and wanting to make a difference. But my life took a dramatic turn when I met my now husband. At the time, I was 46 years old, and he was 24. I never imagined that I would fall in love with someone on the other side of the bars, let alone someone much younger, but love doesn’t always follow the rules. It was a connection I couldn’t ignore, and it changed everything.
At the time, I was married, trying to save a relationship that had become hollow. I was numb on the inside, doing everything I could to give my husband what he wanted materially, while dealing with his depression and materialistic behaviors. We had just moved to a new home, and I was struggling to keep everything together.
Then I met my now husband. Our story is crazy, awkward, and funny, but through it all, we've discovered that we are soul mates. No matter what life throws at us, nothing will tear us apart.
This blog is a space for others who are walking a similar path. Whether you're a prison wife, a family member of someone incarcerated, or someone interested in understanding the justice system from a new perspective, this blog is for you. I'll be sharing my personal journey, offering resources, and providing support to help others navigate the complexities of life with a loved one behind bars.
From the challenges of addiction and incarceration to the emotional ups and downs of supporting someone on the inside, I’ll be sharing it all. This is a place where we can be real, support each other, and hopefully, find some light in the shadows.
In the coming posts, I’ll dive deeper into my experiences—from my time as a correctional officer to my journey of love and resilience with my now husband. I’ll also be sharing practical advice, resources, and stories that might just help others who are going through similar challenges.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey. Whether you’re here to find support, learn more about the justice system, or simply follow along with our story, I’m glad you’re here. Feel free to leave comments, share your own experiences, or ask questions. Let’s create a community where we can support each other through the highs and lows.
Thank you for being here. Stay tuned for my next post, where I’ll dive deeper into how my life changed when I met my now husband and how I went from guard to wife. Until then, take care, and remember—you’re not alone in this journey.
