The Moment A Terrified Kid Became A Respected Convict

He looked me in the eye, introduced me to his family, and said, "This is the man who got me out of prison." But he's wrong. Let me tell you how a terrified kid went from shaking in his cell to taking control of his own destiny. When this new guy first walked through the gates, he was absolutely paralyzed by fear. An old-head mentor of mine and I pulled him aside to give him one crucial piece of advice: with life with the possibility of parole, he had too much to lose to let fear run his life. ​After a defining moment behind thedefining moment behind the walls, his entire world changed. His posture, his walk, and honestly, his talk (he wouldn't shut up!). ​Years later, we crossed paths on the outside. Hearing him try to give me the credit for his freedom made me reflect on what it actually takes to survive the system and make it home. #prisonstories #transformation #lifesentence #prisonfight #lifesentences #prisonlife #prisonexperience #harveytalksprison #mentorship #changeyourmindsetchangeyourlife
