When We Become Them For nearly a decade, I served as a Correctional Supervisor in Maximum Security and Death Row at the Utah State Prison. I had front row seats to humanity at its worst. Every shift showed me how quickly people shed civilized behavior when pushed to the edge or were driven by some depraved impulse. I was face-to-face with men who had crossed a line that the rest of society couldn’t fathom. This was ground zero for those who were condemned to die. There are no embellishments here, and there is no Hollywood sensationalism. These accounts come straight from my own handwritten notes, written down in a journal as they took place while working on Death Row. I documented every vile confession, every unnerving moment from killers who knew they'd never see the outside world again. These personal accounts include my time serving on the Execution Squad. There, I stood as a witness watching men take their final breaths, listening to their last words, and feeling the crushing finality of justice in a place where redemption was no longer possible. These aren't dramatized scenes written for entertainment; they're snapshots of a world most people will never see, told by someone who lived it day after day. If graphic violence gives you nightmares, you should put this book down.
