George Lang remembers someone in his childhood home being paralyzed after a lead pipe ended an argument over a can of beer. Although not all arguments were resolved this way, violence and anger were commonplace, he remembers.
Years later, while enrolled in the Prison Fellowship Academy®, he was baffled when he met men who were loving and gracious in their examples as fathers and husbands.
Growing up in the projects of St. Paul, Minnesota, George learned early on to fend for himself.
"If I was gonna eat, get clothes, it was gonna be by my own doing," he explains. By 10, he was living a life of crime. As a young adult, he had set his sights on living out Al Pacino's character from "Scarface."
