This is the story of my arrest and everything that happened during that. This is not a story that I am proud of at all. But it is the truth about why I went to prison for 7 years. The full story.
I'm Joe. I've spent 7 years in prison for non violent drug offenses, and have been a free man for a little over a year now. While incarcerated, I realized my life needed some major changes and everyday I worked as hard as I possibly could to make those changes.
I realized that through art, I could focus on more positive things. Now since my release, I've accomplished many more positive things. I created a YouTube channel called AfterPrisonShow about a month after my release where I've chronicled what it's been like adjusting back into society after 7 years in prison. How I found a job ( which is brutal killer work.) And how important it is to never give up on trying to better yourself no matter what your situation is. Or what obstacles, hardships, or roadblocks stand in your path.
Here is the full video explaining my story...

Hello! It's nice to see you here! Hope you enjoy it on here as much as I do.
I wish you the best! Hope you gonna have fun with our community and see you soon.
I don't really see the answer to question from the title. Seven years is a long time so unless you come from a country with very strict legislative you must have been running quite a business. Anyhow I wish you luck in reintegrating into society and hope you'll manage in your mission to stay on the right side of the law this time.
The reason I went is told in the over 18-minute video I have embedded in the post, and you may not have seen it since I just updated it. First time posting on here kind of new to this!
In Virginia you can go to prison for life simply for having too much of a plant in your possession. The laws are beyond stupid.
