Behind the Wall
Featuring: Edward "Garp" Garcia
What happens to a person after 29 years of hyper-vigilance, high-stakes decision-making, and constant emotional restraint?
We are honored to welcome Edward "Garp" Garcia as our very first guest. Born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey, Eddie dedicated nearly three decades of his life to a career in corrections, retiring in October 2022. For Eddie, being a correction officer wasn't just a job—it was a way of life that shaped his mindset, his relationships, and how he moved through the world.
In this episode, Eddie pulls back the curtain on the "unseen burdens" of the profession. He speaks candidly about:
- The Survival Mindset: Developing the instinct to read people instantly and stay guarded even in moments of calm.
- The Personal Cost: The challenge of balancing a 23-year marriage and fatherhood while carrying the emotional weight of the uniform home.
- Life After the Badge: His ongoing journey of healing, reflection, and redefining his identity outside the prison walls.
Join us for an intimate look at a life defined by endurance, discipline, and the complex reality of serving in a world few truly understand.
