I am beginning the 10th year of my sentence. I was guilty ofthese crimes and I, alone, take total responsibility for my actions. It took me a long time to understand the reasons for my actions so that I could sincerely say, I'm sorry. In August of 2016, I was transferred to Marion Correctional Institution (MCI) after almost 8 years at Hocking Correctional Facility (HCF). Little did I know that this move would be life-changing for me in a positive way. Less than 24 hours after my arrival, I was moved to the Marion Reintegration Center (MRC). I remember reading a daily message shortly after my arrival that said, "God uses present circumstances to prepare us for the future". I realized how prophetic this message was a short time later. One of the first guys that I met at MRC was Larry Thompson, the author and teacher of a courseti~led, REENTRY REALITIES~ I irmnediately_began taking his 18 week, Christian-based course, focusing on selfexamination. This was t~e first time I finally understood why I had broken the law and what I needed to do to prepare for my release. I began my own self-examination and owned up to the personal responsibilities ofmy actions. I reminded myself of the 4 stage grief process of Denial, Protest,
