Six by Nine

From merely surviving childhood trauma to thriving and grabbing like by the horns, the author has chronicled an insider's account of life within the gritty corridors of justice when the clang of steel meets echoes of locked-away souls' cries into the abyss. Joseph W. Boyou-a USAF veteran, husband, and father of three-has passionately written this memoir to serve as a cautionary tale to those who wrestle with God. The author wholeheartedly believes that we can all be the heroes of our own stories if we are willing to adopt a little responsibility. As a corrections officer, he showed compassion for inmates and fellow officers. This is complete with lessons of unyielding dedication, unwavering resolve, and a tightrope balance of order within chaos. It is his wish that recidivism becomes a thing of the past. He is a champion and strong advocate of mental health and finding one's true purpose.
