Dear Humans of San Quentin,

First and foremost, I want to thank you all for allowing me the opportunity to tell my story on your platform. It was truly humbling to know that I was able to finally give something, for once in my life by virtue of sharing my life experience. It felt good to know my poor choices and negative experiences had such a positive impact on people. Thank you all again for the opportunity.

Secondly, I believe that albeit your organization is small at the moment, I know it will expand beyond belief. You guys are doing a great job, and whatever I can do to help scale the organization I’m on board. Please let me know how I can assist.

Thank you so much,

Charles

You read it. You keep it.

Every piece comes from someone serving a sentence. Every piece reminds you they are so much more than that.
