Tuesday, March 23 at 7:30 pm

Pastor Roy Yamamoto Jr. found salvation in prison. Growing up in Pearl City, he had a troubled childhood. There was abuse at home and embarrassment at school because he never learned how to read. Although he excelled at sports, it was during his first year of playing college football that he was introduced to cocaine. “All of a sudden my career in drugs was more important,” said Yamamoto.

His drug use skyrocketed to a $1,000-a-day habit. He didn’t have that kind of money, so he resorted to crime to get his fix and was a repeat offender – convicted of extortion, kidnapping, robbery, assault and attempted murder.

Realizing the dead-end path he was on, Yamamoto decided to attend a bible study while he was behind bars. That would change his life. “From that point I knew I was a new person,” he said.

Facing 80 years in prison, rulings by two judges granted Yamamoto freedom. He’s used his time to mend scarred relationships and become a pastor in his own church. He also created a camp for children of the incarcerated because, according to Yamamoto, “They’re at the highest risk to become criminals as adults, and get into addiction and go into the youth facility.”

Hear Roy Yamamoto Jr.’s story of recovery, atonement and forgiveness, this month on Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox.
