THEN / VIRGINIA
ANGER HAD
THE WHEEL.
Randy grew up poor in Appalachia, learned violence young, and committed murder. He does not dodge the damage or blame the sentence.
A voice from the other side of the wall
Thirty years inside. Decades in solitary. One hard-earned truth: where you are does not have to decide who you become.

“Don't cry for who I was.
Praise who I became.

The long way through
THEN / VIRGINIA
Randy grew up poor in Appalachia, learned violence young, and committed murder. He does not dodge the damage or blame the sentence.
THE HOLE / RED ONION
Years in solitary stripped away the performance. In the silence, Randy began facing the man he had been—and choosing who came next.
NOW / BUCKINGHAM
Podcasting, writing, mentoring, faith, and discipline. Redemption is not a clean ending. It is the thing you earn again every morning.
New from the prison phone
Raw stories about prison, survival, accountability, and the strange human comedy of doing decades inside.
Written where the walls couldn't follow
How Randy rebuilt himself through discipline, accountability, and years in solitary.
Thirty years of prison survival, commissary invention, hard stories, and harder laughs.
A strange, bright fantasy about courage and self-belief, written behind concrete walls.
A child crosses into a mythic world and discovers the power required to save both of hers.
