My name is Michael Owens, I'm a 69-year-old African American man who has been incarcerated since May of 1985. I feel that God has allowed me this opportunity to reach out to a woman who will someday be my pillar of strength and motivation in my most difficult period of my life. Although Getting out is my email system, you must register by going to GTL.com, download the Gettingout app and register from there.

In closing, I love to write poetry, relaxing and listening to music (Old school R&B and Jazz). I'm very physically active for my age. I'm a United States Marine Corps Veteran (Served from 1976 to 1980). I work out, study history and other interest that stimulate my intellect. I extend this invitation with the hope that from friendship this will grow into a long-term relationship.
