  • Derrick, 46

    It took 15 years of incarceration and the death of my daughter for me to come to the reality that I was heading down the wrong path.
  • Michael, 42

    After turning 19 in prison, I was sick of trying to understand the wrongs I was witnessing. So I cut my throat on both sides so deep that I blacked out.
