Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison Chapter 25

By Shaka Senghor

Chapter 25

Where:
Cooper Street Correctional Facility
Jackson, Michigan
When: December 2009
This chapter is short, but oh so sweet for Shaka and his family.
A few months go by, and Shaka is moved back to Cooper Street in Jackson, MI>
Ebony and Shaka keep working for his release.
Shaka has a challenging but awesome interview with an older Black gentleman on the parole board.
The interviewer seems impressed, and he even thanks Shaka's dad (who's there to support Shaka) for being a good role model.
Shaka gets parole. It's an awesome moment.
