If you work in corrections or love someone who does, The Nothing That Never Happened was written for you.

Correctional staff see, hear, and experience things most people will never fully understand. The challenge is that many of those experiences don’t end when the shift ends. They follow us home, affecting our sleep, our relationships, our health, and the way we see the world.

This book explores the hidden impact of the job through stories, lessons, and hard-earned insight from inside the walls. It’s not just for correctional professionals—it’s also for spouses, partners, and family members who want to better understand what their loved one may be carrying.

Sometimes the things that affect us the most are the things that “never happened”—the incidents we never talk about, the emotions we never process, and the burdens we quietly carry. This book starts that conversation.

Announced today at the Mayor's State of the City: the new Chief Jeffery E. Bladel Legacy of Service Award.

Created to honor recently retired Chief Jeff Bladel, this new annual award recognizes a department employee whose dedication, innovation, and leadership advance our mission, especially in gun violence reduction and data-driven policing.

The award will highlight those who use thoughtful analysis and take initiative to make a lasting difference for our department and our community. The first recipient will be recognized later this year.

Healing doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes it begins with finally laying down the anger, pain, and burdens you were never meant to carry alone. There is freedom in putting God first and trusting Him with the weight you’ve been holding onto for so long.

For the person who almost didn’t make it here.

For the person reading quietly.
For the person who is tired of explaining why life feels heavy.
For the person who has been carrying more than anyone knows.

Stay.

Not because everything is fixed.
Not because pain magically disappears when Project Semicolon says something catchy, because everyone tries that.

Stay because your life is still here.
Stay because help can still reach you.
Stay because one hard chapter is not the whole story.

You are not alone.
Your story isn’t over.
Keep going.

If you’re in immediate danger or thinking about su***de, call or text 988 in the U.S. or Canada.
