InscribedOn image recto, lower left, in silver pen: ""I work as a correctional / officer. I'm working on my / degree in criminal justice. I / want to work in juvenile / probation to catch kids early / enough to keep them from / making the mistake that will / land them in jail. This job has / been eye-opening for me. I'll see / people at work who I grew up / with who stayed in that cycle / of poverty. They didn’t have positive / role models to show them that / education is important and / to be aware of everything out there in the / world. I knew I didn't want to be stuck on the Hill.""; On sheet verso, bottom, in pencil: "Josh at Monroe County Jail, 2015" 2/8".
