Matthew Patunas is a 53 years old retired corrections officer roaming the halls of Rahway State Prison. Matt grew up in the small town of Moonachie located in Bergen county NJ. Growing up in a middle-class family Matt’s father Gene was a union ironworker that owned his own company, while his mother Ann was a stay at home mom. Family was always present having his grandparents live upstairs
Matt met my wife Christina on the same street that we grew up on in Moonachie. With the prospects of a new family, Matt chose a job in law enforcement, taking the position of a corrections officer. He went into the police academy in 1998.
Being locked down in one of the most dangerous prisons in the country, Matt roam the halls with authority and fairness. Earning respect inside prison, either as a guard or a prisoner takes a delicate balancing act, which Matt was able to navigate with success .
Matt’s career was cut short due to an injury which led him down a self-destructive path which took a lifetime to recover.
