Well I have been reading Stanley Tookie William's books recently, its very inspiring and he was executed 2 years ago by the government, Tookie was the founder of the Crips, rival gang of the Bloods. What was fascinating though, he spent life in prison for 20 years, he wrote books and even created a website, I just wrote here to let you guys know he was a great guy, everyone loved him, celebrities were there to watch him get executed, he was also accused of murdering 4 people, but he didnt.

One of his books that inspired me was Life In Prison. Take your time to check this book out at a local library, its very inspiring.

He's the founder of the Crips, of course everybody loved him, including the people he 'allegedly' murdered. All of the gang leaders I know are kind hearted, caring individuals. I don't know why people give them such bad reputations. -.-

It's funny that people changed their lives around when it's too late.

It's never too late.

I would consider it's late when you're sitting on death row. Late for the victims, late for him.

So you can just go live a life of crime, then while you're in jail with nothing better to do and you ain't getting out you "become good" and everything's set?

What a perfect world we live in.

I rather see convicted criminals learn there lesson. Rather than still continue to be bad and CONTINUE to ruin our society.

I believe people can change drastically and for the better. I just don't believe I can tell whether a person has truly changed for the better without interacting with them face-to-face.
