  • Marbles to Manslaughter
    Mar 28 2021

    Sometimes just being the last man standing is a victory, no matter where that standing is at. A gang member from the notorious streets of Los Angeles California, there was a time in which Eugene "C-Boy" YoungBlood had to consider "being the last man standing" a victory, even if that "standing" meant the rest of his life in prison. After nearly 30 years in prison he has a new goal; impacted by  his mother (who would do 21 years in prison herself), two daughters (who only knew a life with a father incarcerated), and a second chance at life on this side of the fence (outside of prison).

    After 29 years in prison, a simple decision,  such as picking out some clothes from the mall, can be overwhelming to the point of paralysis.

  • 710: The Aftermath
    Sep 20 2020

    Disciplinary violation for prison, infraction 710: Acquiring an unauthorized tattoo/piercing/scar, tattooing/piercing/scarring another, or possessing tattoo/piercing/scarring paraphernalia, once would get Nate in trouble. Add to that fact, if he tattooed a man from another race, it would be another type of trouble to ensue from the fellas. Nate stayed disciplined and perfected his craft. He navigated his way through prison politics by rising in rank of his car (prison click, gang, group).

    Freedom, his dad passing, and a good woman would change is outlook on it all. This is his story.
