My name is John, and I'm a 18-year-old male who was convicted of armed robbery. I was brought up in a rough neighborhood, where being tough and independent was valued above all else. But my parents always pushed me to be the best that I could be, and I was determined to make something of myself despite the odds against me.
I got involved with the wrong crowd, and before I knew it, I was deep in a life of crime. My parents tried everything they could to get me out of it, but it wasn't until I was caught red-handed during a heist that I realized the error of my ways.
Now, here I am - chained to a wall and left with nothing but my thoughts. I know what I did was wrong, and I deserve to be punished for it. But even in this situation, I refuse to give up hope. There's always a chance that things could get better, and that one day I could make something of myself again.
