Description

In today's episode, I sit down with Paul Young, a retired Major with the Missouri Department of Corrections.  Paul, now 85, retired with 34 years working for the DOC and almost 40 years in Law Enforcement in total.  Although Paul saw many changes during his career, he was able to adapt and thrive.  From working at Missouri State Penitentiary in the 1960s & 70s to running bloodhounds on manhunts that made the national news, Paul's story is as interesting as it is varied.
