For almost three decades, Eric Burch walked the halls of 3 state prisons and a county jail, learning firsthand how the job changes you in ways that follow you home. The keys he carried became symbols of responsibility, stress, identity, and survival—things he didn’t fully understand until he stepped away from the work.

Writing became the way he unpacked the weight he’d carried. The Weight of the Keys is the result: a raw, unfiltered memoir about the realities of corrections, the moments that stay with you, and the humor that keeps people going when the job gets heavy.

Eric lives in Missouri and continues to work in the corrections field. He writes to give officers a voice and to help people understand the world behind the doors most never see.
