Second chance for Leon Johnson

Second chances are not given to make things right but are given to prove that we could be better even after we fall. And for that reason each day I strive to become a better person, not only for myself but for any and everyone I may encounter on this journey, ensuring the knowledge I obtain is passed on to those who come after me, creating the strongest vibration.

Why is this important?

My name is Leon Johnson and I'm currently an inmate at Calhoun State Prison in Morgan, GA. I've been sentenced to life plus 5 yrs imprisonment with the eligibility of parole. I was convicted of a crime I committed when I was 17 years old. I made a grave mistake for which I am deeply sorry. My actions cause pain to a lot of people and impacted those I never even met. Shaped me into the Man I am today. I have an understanding of what's really important in my life, and I know I deserve a chance to show what's within.
