A little about me: I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. D.O.B: 11/19/79. I have been incarcerated since the age of seventeen. Arrest date: 10/22/97. I am doing a prison term of 37 years to life for one count of felony-murder and three counts of robbery. While imprisoned I have received my G.E.D and acquired a paralegal certificate. I also acquired a skill in barbering and food handling. I enjoy cooking, reading, writing, and meeting new people. I find peace in being able to communicate with people in the “free world.” I am still fighting to regain my freedom. My goal while in Sing Sing is to enroll in the college program they have here and acquire a degree. I hope you enjoy the work that I will be submitting and any feedback is welcome as well as the start of any friendship
