Please connect with me for real change!

A funny, life loving, and enlightened person looking for likeminded individuals, to be a part of his social network.

Briefly, here is something about me:

My process of personal transformation stems for remorseful state that led me to take full responsibility for my horrific act of violence that brought to prison. Knowing that my action had left such a devastating trauma in the heart and minds of all those affect by actions, was not an easy thing to live with. The reason being that I grow up in a civil war in Africa, that was the cause of my family and I to seek asylum in the US. I personally know what trauma war and violence can have on our psychi. I hated the PTSD it left with me, and I never thought I would be the perpetrator of traumatizing other human beings.

The person I am today is the byproduct of how much my action has shook me to my core, that I had to us the second chance giving me to redeem myself to honor my victim, the victim’s family, and all I hurt. The only way I can do that was to “Know Thyself,” as the old adage goes. I have invested years in myself, to heal spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Without that personal transformation I would not have anything to give to others. But now, out of that abundance of life within me, I have been able to give back.

My current and ongoing contribution has been to give back to my prison community, by starting an art program Visions of Hope (visions-hope.org), which you can go and see the power and fruit of a real transformed life. That is just one of the many roles I have been to play in my prison environment, the impact that art has had on that outside community, but most of all the orphans in Uganda, Africa. There to many things I could list here, but I am limited.

If you wish to invest in real rehabilitation in our prisons, our society and our world, please connect with me for real change!

One love!

How Does This Work?
This is a great time to briefly introduce yourself and let the inmate know what interested you about their pen pal profile.

Please note: This service gives you the opportunity to send your first message to a new pen pal, free of charge. If you send more than one message to the same inmate, or a message to someone you already know, they will not be forwarded.

When you send a message using this form, our staff will print and mail it via US Mail or forward it via the prison’s email system, every two weeks. Be patient, and don’t expect an immediate reply. Inmates can’t email you back directly, so include your full name, email address, and complete mailing address or phone number for a reply. Messages without valid contact info won’t be forwarded, nor will messages with threatening or abusive language.

Want to message directly and more quickly? Check the inmate’s profile to see which email service he or she uses (i.e. GettingOut, JPay, Securus). These services cost between 5 to 50 cents per message and offer you the ability to message them directly and instantly.
