Reformed drug addict returning to prison

Travel plans called for Jason Pepper to say goodbye to his daughter Tuesday morning at their home in St. Joseph and then begin a long drive with his wife to Florence, Colo., where he was to report Thursday to a minimum-security prison.

"It's rough. I'm having good hours and bad hours," Pepper said the day before he was scheduled to depart.
