Thanksgiving

Here’s what a G.P. Committee member has to say If you’re really looking to change, I encourage you to read this. My name is Tavaris Winchester and I’m an alcoholic. I’m 26 years old and I’m still alive, they say the average African American male doesn’t live to be 25; I’m blessed so to say. I’ve gang banged for about nine years of my life. I’ve been shot at on multiple occasions and also shot. I’m not trying to glorify or sound hard! It’s just my story. This is my second time coming to prison. The first time I served 13 months of an 18 month sentence. To me I was living a thug’s life and I felt that I was experiencing everything a real gangster would. I did everything within these prison walls and fences I could to make a name for myself. It didn’t do anything but make it harder for me this time around. I got out December 15th 2010, with 60 months hanging over my head. About three months of being out I ended up getting this girl I went to school with pregnant. I was still out running wild. Also, within those three months I had already got de-tained and been questioned about a gun. I got three or four probation violations before I was handed my 60-month sen-tence. It’s crazy because I knew I was coming to prison on one of those violations. I was involved in another gang shoot-ing, but this one was on the news. I ended up doing a 90-day sanction and got out about a month before my son was born. I’m not going to sit here and say prison changed my life. What made me open my eyes and come to the conclusion that I needed to do something new with my life was the day I saw my son born. The day he was born I was also in the hospital yet again I was shot at and was grazed by a bullet. My son’s mother ended up coming to the hospital I was at, so that way I could see my son be born. After that I told myself I was honestly done with the way I was living. I then stopped gang banging and focused on my son. I started to straighten out, but I kept smoking marijuana. I had a job, my own place etc. I gave my P.O a dirty UA and that was the straw that broke the camels back. The messed up part of it all is that the day before, I found out my fiancé was pregnant. Here I am sitting in prison. I did and said any and everything I could to try and convince the judge I would do better. He wasn’t going for it this time. This is what he told me straight from the official transcript, “You have had so many op-portunities including the fact that three years ago your case was presumptive prison, and several times we have kept you out. You keep doing the work to put you back in prison. And look it’s sad, I don’t think it’s going to do you a lot of good either, except you’ll be clean and you won’t commit any crimes in the next five years, but I’m revoking you, 65-months, I’ll give you all credits including AIP, so if you need treatment try to get it through an alternative incarceration program.” I started my 60-month sentence at EOCI. So, like I said, I stopped gang banging when my son was born in 2011, when I came back to prison in 2013 a lot of the same people were still there and were expecting me to be on the same time I was on my first set. I told everyone I wasn’t here for that, I come to do my time and go home. When the first gang riot popped off a week after I was there and they saw me not involve myself, that’s when problems started. Trust me, I had to deal with the consequences. When I make up my mind, I’m not changing it, though not only did I have to deal with the group I used to run with but I also had to deal with the rivals. I did my own time! Human beings by changing the inner attitudes of their mind can change the outer aspects of their lives. That’s what AIP has to offer, help and change. I came into the program with one thing and one thing only on my mind and that was a time cut. I’m 6 months into the program and still learning new things. Not only is this program a blessing, it’s a life long lesson. If you really want to change I urge and plead for you to come and see what it has to offer before listening to those who don’t qualify or have been removed for their own wrong doing. Come to GP outreach and hear for yourself opposed to being influenced. Even if you’re not saving any time, you could be saving your life. Before I go, here is some food for thought; when we are born we come into this world with the same amount of “five golden” coins in currency of life. Over the course of life, you can invest, spend, save or waste these coins as you choose. These five types of coins are time, mon-ey, energy, talent and opportunity. Me, I’ve wasted all but one of these coins and that’s the coin of opportunity. I’m get-ting the opportunity of a second chance, really a third. A lot of people don’t get a second chance. So I’m going to take the opportunity that this program has offered, being able to go home again and run with it. I’m sure that my old cellmate who currently has 35 years left would do anything to be in my shoes. I’m going to do everything I cannot to be in his.
