Layton Green Quote: “From Preach’s time as a prison chaplain, before he joined the Atlanta PD, he knew the true horror of incarceration was not the loss of freedom, but the daily choices one was forced to make to survive. Navigating the jungle without becoming one of the animals. Most people that landed behind bars – not all, but most – had disadvantaged upbringings and poor choices to blame. It was prison that turned them into criminals.”
