Jewell’s educational journey was marked by a desire to pursue law enforcement, which he saw as a way to serve his community. After high school, he briefly explored a career as a mechanic and then worked as a supply room clerk at the Small Business Administration. It was during this time that he befriended Watson Bryant, a lawyer who later played a pivotal role in defending him during his turbulent life. Driven by his ambition, Jewell joined the Habersham County sheriff's department in 1990, initially serving as a jailer before becoming a deputy sheriff and, eventually, a campus security officer. His early career choices showcased a dedication to safety and order that defined his later actions during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
