Today, October 7, 2026, God showed me his love and his mercy again. I grew up between Tijuana, B.C. and California. I became a gang member when I was 12. Since then, I have dedicated my life to the gang. I was loyal to them. When I came to prison in October of ‘09 with a life sentence, I didn’t have hope in life. I always thought that I would die here in prison, but God is good. He saved me so many times from getting killed in the streets and here in prison. Today God showed me his love one more time.
They granted my parole. I was found suitable, I will be leaving soon.
I will be released from prison. And for those that think that there is no hope, let me tell you that there is. Change is possible. If you are willing to change your life, you will change. For 6 years, my main focus was my freedom. Everything I was doing here in prison, I always had freedom in my mind. I wasted a lot of years of my life doing drugs, in the gang, in the streets, committing crimes, living this faulty life that I regret, but the past is the past. I am sharing my testimony to those that are doing time: hey, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Believe that, and don’t give up. Believe in yourself. I used to think the same way. Believe me, with a life sentence on my back, my life was over. I was lost for years, but I decided to change my life. I have been suffering all my life, and to keep suffering here in prison? I realized that I need to do something with my life. I was going to the hole (solitary confinement) a jail inside of jail. I started my sentence on a level four yard, and now I am on a level two yard, so change is possible. I hope my testimony helps you to wake up for whatever you need to wake up: drugs, gangs, to live a normal life. I always wanted to have a family, a normal family, and I will. It is time. Don’t waste more of your time. Make that decision and see for yourself that change is possible. My life is nothing without God. Thank you, and God bless you.
