I was attacked and threatened by a co-worker while working at Salinas Valley State Prison. When I reported the incident to supervisors, the harassment escaladed and work was no longer a safe place to be. As a result I was forced into retirement and that took a tole on my mental health. With children still at home at that time, I was able to be there for them as well as able to return to school and attain Associates degrees.
