The others have said it — you are a gifted artist and art has indeed been a route to keeping your soul alive. Your story is another tragic reflection of the US’s corrupt system of maintaining a facade of righteous at others’ expense. I’m involved with a Prison Awareness group that’s having a week to awaken public awareness in April. May we use your story as part of our displays? Keep drawing, keep writing, and perhaps mentor others in doing the same. May a renewing path continue to unfold before you.
