Make the rest of your life, the best of your life!
There are seven days in the week and someday isn't one of them!
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great!
Stop Wishing! Start Doing!
The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.

Despite the rising incarceration rates over the last decade, crime is actually down.
High inmate populations are blamed on mandatory sentencing and over-zealous drug laws.
Part of the bizarre prison black market, a thimbleful of tobacco can fetch up to $50 at a maximum security prison
