I’ll post this every year until the time free is more than the time taken away.
9 years ago today, VA Dept of Corrections released a man who had given well over half his life to the system. He went in as a child and grew into a man.
9 years ago today, VA Dept of Corrections released a man who had given well over half his life to the system. He went in as a child and grew into a man.
Denied parole 17 times for nature of the crime. He was set up for failure but persevered. He was a hard-headed, fearless child who looked up to grown men who were in the streets. There aren't any excuses for doing wrong; he wears his wrongs and lives with them every day.
The most important thing in life is that he's learned from his mistakes... he took longer than most to get it, but he's turned his life around. He says to me all the time that just having the right people around you makes all the difference.
