2.) Back Ground
Between the ages of 8 and 11, my mother struggled with drug addiction of cocaine and heroine, as she wrestled with being a single parent raising me and my two younger siblings, her drugs addiction left me and my siblings homeless, hungry and without the basic necessities. I began stealing food, clothes and toothpaste, to support myself and my two younger siblings.
By the age of 12, I made the biggest mistake in my life, I started selling crack cocaine. My older cousin witness me selling drugs on the corner and she advised my mother of what I was doing. At that time, my mother had just graduated drug treatment. Needless to say she was really upset with me, she went on to explain to me, that the drugs I sold left a child somewhere hungry, homeless and in the same condition that me and my siblings were in months prior. We both cried and I promised that I wouldn’t never do it again, but I decided to do other wise.
By the age of 14, my mother put me out for selling drugs, “You live under my roof, you abide by my rules or you get out!” My mother struggled to pay the rent and bills, working full time, going to school full time and going to AA, and NA meetings. I put money in her mail box, and bought my brother and sister clothes and shoes for school, but she wouldn’t allow me to come home if I was selling drugs.
I hated the man in the mirror, I hated being away from my mother, sister and brother. I hated that I was responsible for making some kid suffer as I did when I was younger. I tried to spend money on children in the same position I was in as a child; to cope with my regrets. It never worked! The crimes I’ve committed over the course of almost 30 years prior to my imprisonment, destroyed my community, led many people to commit robbery, theft, assault, rape, murder and mayhem. My drug dealing rose the crime rates, and made the community my children are currently living in unsafe. The extent of my life style influenced others not only in my community or this nation, but internationally.
3.) Projected Release Plan:

Second day out, if I’m able go to Bar Web Plumbing Industry to find out when I can start working. Contact all my College professors let them know what my plans and goals are in community activism and my academia. Volunteer at the Salvation Army.

4.) My Conviction:
I was found guilty by a jury of distribution of cocaine, and crack cocaine. At the time I was in denial, and I didn’t want to accept that I was labeled a drug dealer, when in fact I was a drug dealer. The ripple effect of me selling drugs left my family, my community, my city, my state, my nation and the world with an unthinkable amount of victims, starting with myself, addicts, associates, friends, family, my community, my nation and internationally. If it wasn’t for my imprisonment I would have influenced others to commit the same crimes I was committed too and it would have led to my victims being multiplied.
I’ve been to prison 4 times, and each time I presumed I wasn’t coming back and I learned my lesson. This time I learned that if I didn’t change I will die in prison, I learned that I was directly the cause of my mothers heart complication, I learned that my absence has contributed to my two children’s drug addiction, I learned that my absence effected my teenage girl and boy self esteem. I learned that I made neighborhoods unsafe, including my own, where my children live, and now live in fear. I learned that I influenced the youth to sell drugs, and corrupted communities, I learned that I was responsible for rape, robberies, and mayhem, I learned that I was responsible for those dead children found stuffed with cocaine crossing the borders. I learned that I have a moral obligation to build up my people, not tare them down, I learned that I was responsible for the disobedient youth, I learned that I was responsible for so many families loosing a family member from drug addiction, I learned that I broke up so many families through the poison I distributed, I learned that I murdered so many people, and I learned that I contributed to a genocide to my culture, and my nation.
Owning this learning experience, had led me to the following things I must do; I will go into high schools, middle schools, Colleges, Recreation Centers, Group homes, Juvenile detention Centers. To instruct on History, Politics, Economics, Culture, arts/music, Philosophy, and intellectual achievements. I will explain the harmful effects of distributing drugs, how drugs broke up families, how young children are and were murdered in an effort to smuggle drugs into this country. I will instruct on what drugs do to people, and what prison does to a person, his/her community, and who are all affected by one person going to prison.
5.) Making Amends:
I will make amends to my mother, and father who worried countless times on rather I was going to live or die from the drugs I sold, and the concerns of not seeing me due to imprisonment. I will make amends with my wife, the poor choices I’ve made has caused her a world of stress, her having to take care of two children, maintain a house, sustain security, and be emotionally supportive to me while in prison. I will make amends with my children, they needed a father, and I wasn’t there. My children’s sense of security that a father provides was not present in none of my children’s lives’. My absence has created a void that will take a while to amend.
I will amend my community whom were greatly effect by the drugs I sold, the children in my community looked up to me, I left a grave influence to distribute drugs and destroy families. I led a double life, one towards education, and another selling drugs. This left those I influenced confused. I will show them the right way, by being a living testimony of putting in hard work, devotion and love into our community.
6.) Community Support:
Minneapolis Community Technical College (MCTC), Administration, SAAB Organization, and College Professors, supported me through my imprisonment, I will invest in community activism with staff and student boards. I will also use my resources at St. Thomas, and the University of Minnesota. I will also work as a Volunteer at the Rosedale Salvation Army, Urban League, and any new public forum that is aimed towards me making a healthy transition. I will work with local churches and the Park board in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
7.) Financial Obligation:
I will make the best of the $20,000 grand me and my wife having in savings, 40% is for our wedding, 20% will go to an automobile, and the rest is for our children’s education. I do not owe any fines, restitution, or child support, but my financial obligation will be a contribution towards time, time is money, and everyone of my children, and family members will require much time from me.
8.) Personal Plan:
Reestablishing Re’Ventry, which is a previous ran non-profit organization I founded. Re’Ventry extends its efforts towards exploring parental obligations in our criminal justice process, involvement, as well as assimilating child developmental data of children with a parent in prison, through collaborations of developmental scientists, sociologists, criminologist, and returned citizens.
Re’Ventry goal is to reduce the countries recidivism rate, reduce the number of children who have an incarcerated parent in prison, and connect children to their incarcerated parent, through mail, email, phone calls, workshops and visitation. In accordance to studies there are currently 2.6 million children who have a parent who is incarcerated. Re’Ventry will reduce this number, by reducing recidivism, reconnecting citizens with family members after prison. This is a lengthy process, that needs counseling, therapy, and strong support systems to our citizens who are making this transition.
Re’Ventry has constructed an application to aid citizens with this transition, by providing technology, conjoined with psychological evaluation. These two sciences combined with Congress’s efforts towards rehabilitation, provides innovative ways to; accommodate, access, evaluate, process, and assist our citizens with this vitalizing transition.
I plan to create a local network of Scientist, Sociologist, Psychologist, Therapist, Counselors, Judges, Detention Center’s providers, Group homes providers, Treatment Centers counselors and Drug Treatment Specialist (DTS), corporation and small businesses, that have an interest in helping our returned citizens make a healthy transition, by providing job training, gift certificates, and employment opportunities.
This is one of plenty revised and updated Release Plans, hope to meet in person soon. Thank you for your time, and efforts towards my rehabilitation. Help me rehabilitate humanity one human at a time.
