Welcome to RC Journey, a travelogue with a purpose. For those new to the term, an “RC” is a Returning Citizen – an individual navigating life after incarceration. I’m Brett, and as a returning citizen and Platform Systems Engineer for The Last Mile, I’ve created this space to explore the breathtaking natural beauty of the United States, from the majestic peaks of the Cascades to the serene depths of ancient forests. This isn’t just about scenic views; it’s a parallel exploration of the challenging, often unseen, path of returning citizen reentry, finding the profound connection between the wild’s expansive freedom and the human spirit’s quest for renewal.
Through my own story and the inspiring voices of others who have successfully reentered society, I confront the stark realities of finding housing, employment, and connection, while offering hope and practical insights. Join me as I traverse these diverse landscapes – both literal and metaphorical – in search of freedom, renewal, and a place to belong.
Over 10,000 miles traveled while working remotely and exploring the country.
