I’m still challenged with complications related to sentence. This conundrum really baffles me. I don’t understand why the system will not simply release me. Clearly, I understand that I made bad decisions as a young man. But I’m nearly 51 and more stable than anyone would expect. Since returning to society, I’ve opened many, many opportunities. Besides spending a year teaching at San Francisco State University, I worked with my partner Justin to build products and offer services that would teach thousands of people how to reach a higher potential. I became a homeowner and build a savings account that would sustain my wife and me for longer than four years. I’m happily married and I’ve complied with every requirement since my release from imprisonment. Further, my probation officer, an assistant US attorney, and a federal judge have agreed that continued supervision is unwarranted and unnecessary in my case. Nevertheless, I’m still facing resistance in my efforts to be set free. This is all part of a long journey, and I’ll stay the course.
