Shadow Clock

Ramson Miller and I met after he served 23½ years in prison for $10 worth of ma*****na.

This excerpt is from a phone call we had about two months after his release. Few stories have tested me as much as his, and Ramson continues to remind me of the resilience of the human spirit.

Louisiana Parole Project has helped many people—including Ramson—come home successfully.

(Excerpt is from Part 2 of Ramson's story. The QR code takes you to Part 1; Part 2 link is in the comments.)
