My name is Julian,
To all my brothers and sisters, this is my 6th time in prison in 5 years.
I spent the last 3 months in 23 hour lockdowns, 3-out in a cell built for one person. Thankfully I am now in a 2-out and got my job at the prison bakery.
Over the past 5 years I have completed numerous courses and obtained tickets for forklift – working at heights, confined space, first aid, and test and tag.
I recommend to all prisoners to apply for education short courses. I was never good at school, but with the help of the prison education and employment coordination I was chosen as student of the year in 2024, which was a complete shock as I never achieved anything in my younger years.
So this time I get out I will get a full time job and will stay drug-free into the future.
My best advice is to take 1 day at a time and walk tall – better days are ahead.
