- A Description of Who I Am: I have been in prison since 1999. I was 20 years old when I committed my crime. I had never been in any kind of trouble with the law and yet I was sentenced to die in prison in spite of mine being a non—homicide conviction and a first offense. My crime was that I participated in a kidnapping at the urging of the 47 year old man who befriended me at summer camp when I was a child and had been the lone parental figure in my life since bringing me to the United States ...

- The Criminal Justice System in the United States Needs Reform No country imprisons more people than the U.S. which, with only 5% of the world's population, houses 25% of its prisoners. One of the primary reasons for this is that the system fails to provide a rehabilitative focus for these prisoners, 77% of whom, in recent history, have been re-arrested within 5 years of release. Ninety percent of those currently incarcerated in the U.S. will be released one day directly back into the c...
