Ken Vernon, San Quentin State Prison, CA
I am excited about the New Year. 2024 will be the year I return back to society after twenty-nine years. The world has changed so much.
I will be experiencing things for the first time at fifty-two years old. This year, more than ever, a New Year’s resolution seems to fit in with my life. I am leaving prison a different person, a healed person, a person that can be himself. So my New Year’s resolution is to take in every new experience with the curiosity and openness of that young Kenny of five years old.
