Knowing that I survived a storm where many people have died.

Though I grew old in prison, I’m pushing 60 years old, and I feel great about that. Because as I said, a lot of people has died. I watched a lot of my associates die, watched a lot of them get killed. But what brings me comfort is because I believe strongly in God, and I keep my faith alive knowing that I survived, but by His grace and His grace only. If it wasn’t for God, I’d be dead.

Well, I’m grateful and I appreciate y’all coming here to visit with us. It means a lot to me to get our voices heard.

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.
