William, a former deputy sheriff, was charged with sexual contact with an inmate. Even today William states he did not commit the crime even though he did the time. William served two years and three months in prison and remains on parole for 20 more months. Several times the justice system offered plea bargains which would have prevented him from being incarcerated or shortened his sentence. Each time William. He was not going to confess to a crime he did not commit. In prison, William started out in protective custody because of his prior vocation but then he asked to be put in general population (GP). There was an enormous chance that an inmate in GP was one William arrested. Why would a former deputy sheriff ask to be placed with all the other inmates? Why? He was a certain target! William's story is the first of a three part series: Sex Offender, Murderer, and Drug Trafficker. Three Separate Criminals, One Commonality.
