"Ten years ago I aimlessly sold drugs and made errors that I thought would never cause me trouble. In 1992 my father was shot to death in front of my mother, brothers and sisters. Later in life I was shot in the back (which almost caused my death) while being apprehended. While recovering in the hospital I thought about leaving the prison and avenging those who hurt me. I thought nothing could change my mind. Two and a half years ago I began the Second Chance Program.
Little by little I realized how terrible my childhood was as I was surrounded by drugs and violence. I know today about ethics and morals and what rehabilitation is. Although a person may spend 20 years or more being a criminal, with the steps of this program I have learned what I could not assimilate in school. I hope Governments will make this program a reality for the world. Now I see a promising life. I no longer think about my past. I now want to help other people to overcome the addiction to drugs leaving them free. If this program were in other prisons, we could achieve these wins for everyone."
