Description

In this powerful and thought-provoking podcast, Louis and Aaron sit down with David Beechy, who shares his extraordinary journey from growing up Amish to becoming a corrections officer on death row in Tennessee. David opens up about the unique and often difficult experience of being raised in the Amish community, the challenges he faced both personally and socially, and the way he was perceived by others. After deciding to break away from his Amish upbringing, David pursued a career in law enforcement, starting with a security job. His life took a surprising turn one night when he randomly applied at a prison and ended up working on death row.


David recounts his time in one of the darkest and most intense environments imaginable, offering a glimpse into the world of executions, violent inmates, and the raw humanity he encountered. He shares chilling stories of what life was like working in the death row unit, how the inmates behaved, and the disturbing moments he witnessed. This is an unfiltered look into the emotional toll of working on death row, the personal impact it had on David, and the haunting realities of life behind bars.
