The light shines from out of the darkness.

As a currently incarcerated individual, I feel it’s only right to pay my respect to your guys’ platform. Y’all are bringing light to a dark place. I am from Indiana and currently serving a four year sentence in the Indiana Department of Correction. I had my probation revoked, so I am doing day for day. I can’t complain though. I have to count it all as joy.

I wanted to write and expose all the demonic and injustice I have witnessed being incarcerated, but what would that profit? God is good, and what you guys have created is great for us, the families, friends, etc. Keep on pushing.

P.S. I would not mind if my info fell into the hands of an incarcerated wise master builder. I have 18 months left, and I need all the info, love, and help before my release. Reentry purposes, for jobs, etc.

Brother.
Sincerely,

Jaylen

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.
