As my days get shorter heading towards my release, I think back to what this experience has been to me. Being that I have always has my heart set on criminal justice reform, my perspectives have been towards that end. Is this program helping? Does that method seem to work? Clearly I am looking for my own cure, as I am a reptitive offender seeking the change many of these programs claim to offer. In the FEDS it has been simply one frustration after another, and while I stay humble enough to know I am in here for my mistakes, and nothing is due to come but these years I’ve had to walk down, I had hoped for some form of relief from the patterns that led me here. I want to be better. I want to belong in society, not prison. I thought I may be able to earn that. I was and am willing to work for it. I am so sickened by this twisted systematic degrading of people. People, I say again, because I am human, and therefore capable of doing anything any other human can do, both good and bad. My life, as most lives are lived, have had both good and bad of course, a subject for debate is which I’ve had more of… 🙂 I believe much much more good, yet on paper that could be argued. Be that as it may, I look forward to helping to promote real change upon release. I look forward to being in contact with you all, and appreciate your motivation and goodwill. I have over 120 certificates at this point, and have God in my life in a way I never have before. I am in shape and have educated myself to the best of my means while here. That is all I can say. That is all I can do. And I did that. Look forward to seeing you all on the other side. God bless.
