5-Success after Prison

Self-Directed Response:
Since I arrived at prison my strategy to influence those (case manager, warden, etc.) who will determine my day of transfer to home confinement and my strategy to prepare for success after prison has been the following:
1. Perfect conduct
2. Productive activities everyday (exercise, bible reading, praying, legal reading, legal motions, etc.)
3. Document all activities on a calendar each day
4. Align activities with FSA directed credits
5. Program, program, program – take as many classes and courses as possible.
6. Understand the law
7. Prepare and update release plan

I do these every day, without fail and despite some denials of my administrative remedies to get the rightful credits I have earned and early release, I will continue this schedule each day and I know it will benefit me at some point.
