INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“His face is still in my mind. I see his face—the fear, the torment. I see his face all the time.” —Fred
I remember one time I saw a high school classmate who asked me, "Hey Fred, what you've been up to?" And I said, "Working my way to prison."


About nine months later, I did go to prison—for possession of 12.8 grams of marijuana. I was given a 6-months-to-10-years sentence and became prisoner B28545. I wasn't a hardcore criminal—just an addict who didn't like myself.


In prison, if you were a member of a gang, and you were in trouble, the gang would back you. I joined a hardcore group of guys, a notorious prison gang, in 1971, and tried to make everyone believe I was hard and cold. Even got the name of our gang tattooed on my chest like a brand.


But inside, I was scared to death.
BIBLES ARE NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER
