- No Title A day before my 18th birthday I was arrested in Milwaukee WI for possession with intent to deliver. I was sentenced to 9 years under the Wisconsin Truth in Sentencing Act. The judge ordered me to do 3 years inside and 6 years on mandatory supervision. Most of the 3 years was spent at the Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center (R.E.E.C.C.).

I imagined laying on my son's bedroom floor watching him play video games. I dreamed of relieving some of the burden off of my mother and step father.
