This week, we begin our two-part story on dying in prison. With so many of our team members serving long or life sentences, this subject was a particularly difficult one for us. Today, we sit down with Damon Davis, an offender care aide (OCA) serving a life plus 480-year sentence. He explains the offender care vocational program, why he chose to get involved with it, and how the work affects the way he sees himself and his sentence. Davis speaks honestly about challenging society’s view of him and the importance of being there for other incarcerated men during end-of-life.
