First, this isn't a shameless plug or an attempt to sell anything.
Rather it is just another way to show that while some of us may have
been incarcerated, we can make it when we get on the outside. That
said, from the time I was 16 until I was 24, I was in and out of jail
and prison. In 1987, I decided I was done doing life on the
installment plan. I got out and without help put myself thru EMT
class, got a job and took care of my family. In 98, I got my
Paramedic. People don't realize just how hard that is for a Felon and
even if you get in, you get your balls broke because of your past. On
10/2/02, I had to stop working because I caught something on the job.
workers comp fought me tooth and nail for years. I had no income,
watched everything I did manage to earn get taken away and they were
in the mist of taking my home. I asked for help and was told,
eventually you will get some money, we can't help you. So I did
something stupid and wound up in Fed. I did my time and swore I would
not do anything illegal even if I had to and I have done that.
Federal, unlike State actually taught me a few things. I was released
in 2007 and I have managed to do well so far. While I still can't work
until I get my transplant surgery, I managed to take online college
courses and earned my Paralegal as well as an AS in Law and I am now 3
classes shy of my BS. I have always wanted to help, while I was in and
after I got out and I have done some things to do that with individual
guys. It's hard out here but you can make it. Recently I said I wanted
to try and help in a different way. When you hear the metal on metal
closing behind you or those damn sliding doors close and the keys
jingling, you never forget it but when it happens, you feel like all
of your rights are gone. You do lose a lot of them, but you retain
some as well. So I am halfway through with writing "The Prisoners
Rights Handbook" which I am probably going to market thru Amazon. I
then plan to write a Prisoners or Prison Survival book. I also plan to
do a book about an incident that happened in Minnesota in 2015. Two of
these books are geared towards helping those locked up as well as
showing their family some things to help them worry less about their
loved ones on the inside. So those are the books. But more
importantly, It may be hard for everyone when released, but we were
strong enough to survive on the inside, so we need to show that same
strength out here. We can make it out here!!!

 Sad been out of CT jails and prisons since 87 and still remember my
number and still remember my fed number 11 years later.
