After spending most of my life in prison it became clear to me
that change was needed. I had worked long and hard to change
myself; through this process I became convinced that I had an
obligation to work for the betterment of the world I inhabit.
The Honor Program is the product of this awakening desire to
become a force for the good. I set myself a seemingly impossible
task, motivated by a desire to do something worthy of the life I
have; changing the world’s largest prison system from inside one
of its cells. The Honor Program remains an ongoing struggle, but
a struggle worthy of pursuing, worthy of the effort. Purpose,
and the power that emanates from purpose, can change even this
world of violence and despair. |
