Author Description

My name is Matt Devon. I'm not your average 22-year-old guy. Tomorrow marks my fourth full year in the New Mexico State Prison. Everyone in here has stories to tell and reasons why they're not guilty. I have some stories, but I have never once claimed to be innocent. I am guilty as charged. One night, I made an awful mistake, and pretty much ruined everything in my life. Yet, from my jail call, I still dream. My dream always involves football; I'm always the quarterback, and we always win the championship. Tomorrow, when I stand before the parole board, I hope to show them that I deserve a fresh start on life, a second chance. I will ask them to let me walk from this jail as a free man with a dream to play football again...
