About Justin

A Man Of Many Words
Hello, and thank you for reading my bio.
My name is Justin A. I am a husband, a father of two, grandfather of three, and a man of both creativity and science.
I’m currently in the fifth year of a twelve year sentence. I’ve found that I am here for a purpose; once it has been fulfilled I will be able to go home.
Moments of inspiration, and Christopher, compel me to write. Aforementioned inspirations (wife, kids, grandkids) compel me to be a better person.
Thank you readers for listening.
About Victoria
Hi, I’m Victoria. I came to prison (WHV, MI) in 2007 with an 18 year sentence. I don’t blame anyone but myself for the crime I was sent here for. In turn, all the feelings that I had bottled up I have put into the words that you have read.
Knowing that I share those emotions with you the readers, truly aids in my recovery from addiction, abuse and torment. Thank you and be sure to read more pieces at a future date.
About Jennifer
“Hello all, I’m Jen. I am incarcerated in Wisconsin. Connecting here with Christopher has allowed me to express myself. Prison has allowed me to find my voice and given me a new view on life. Now I can be a voice not only for myself but for the thousands of others behind bars in this state. I have a teenage son. He has been my drive not only to do my time but to make a difference, and become the best version of me possible.
Jennifer (Taycheedah Correctional) (WI
Hi, my name is Scott Strothers, and I’ve been locked up in Ohio since 1999. During my incarceration, I’ve focused on self-improvement. For example, out there I flunked out of college in my freshman year; here, I obtained my bachelor’s degree through correspondence from Ohio University, graduating magna cum laude. Furthermore, I’ve worked on my physical health. When I first got locked up, I couldn’t run a full lap on the track or do a single unassisted chin-up. Since then, I once ran 100 laps straight, and another time I did 23 straight chin-ups.
This is my first time in prison, and I’ve been deeply disturbed about what I’ve discovered here. For this reason, I’ve devoted my life to criminal justice reform. To accomplish this goal, I’ve tried to educate the public about our prisons and judicial system through my writing. I do a weekly post on my website, and I have a manuscript that I hope to publish one day.

About SONNY J
Hello, World! My name is Harrison Sonny Lofton IV, though I go by the name of Sonny J. I’m a 47 year old black man, and I’ve been incarcerated here in Ohio, for the past 18 1/2 years.
I’m a native of Columbus, Ohio. I’m a very spiritual man, and in 2017, I finally made the choice to get baptized by the chaplain, and it was the best decision I feel I’ve made throughout the past two decades.
I started writing fiction during the beginning of this sentence but wasn’t taking my gift for writing serious until I let another inmate read some of my work; and they liked it! And eventually encouraged me to keep writing and start taking it seriously. Which I did.
I always wanted to be an actor in the film business, so I created a character that I feel I could play in action films. The character is Lead Detective, Mason Steele. A rough, tough, no nonsense crime fighter for the National Bureau of Special Crimes (NBSC), and I’ve been using this character to bring my creative writing to life.
Now? My number one goal is to one day be a New York Times bestselling author. I also want to use my story and my journey to possibly inspire and encourage others who are incarcerated to be the best version of themselves, no matter the mistakes they have made in the past. And, to always strive to reach their full potential in life!
