ABOUT US
About Correctional Junkie.
Welcome to Correctional Junkie—the podcast that takes you behind the bars and beyond the badge.​
Hosted by a seasoned correctional nurse, Correctional Junkie is more than a podcast. It’s a movement. A platform. A voice for those who work in the shadows of society’s toughest walls, doing some of the most thankless yet critical work imaginable.​
With over a decade of experience inside correctional facilities, our host pulls back the curtain on the highs, lows, and everything in between. From gritty day-to-day realities to moments of unexpected humanity, this podcast is where real stories meet raw truths.​
​
Whether you’re in the field, know someone who is, or are simply curious about life on the inside—from the healthcare side—we invite you to tune in, speak up, and lean into the stories that rarely get told.
Why Correctional Junkie?
Because once you’ve worked in this world, it changes you. It challenges your values, tests your patience, and builds a kind of resilience you can’t find anywhere else. And for many of us? It becomes a part of who we are.
This podcast is for the correctional professionals who clock in every day with grit, grace, and a whole lot of heart.
