Journal Entry

What successes are you most proud of from 2024?

I am very proud that in 2024 I was able to get a new team paperwork where I can finally see how the First Step Act and my programming will be applied to my release date. My release date is currently 3/5/2034 but with 2144 days of programming plus Second Chance Act and RDAP calculated my new conditional date should be around 11/15/2027. Now that I can see on paper how my programming and good behavior can pay off it has really motivated me to pick-up my re-entry a notch. I am focusing more on my upcoming release. After 17 years in prison I am finally seeing light at the end of this tunnel and it is making me very excited!
