>> I have spent the past few months teaching/mentoring another resident in a different facility in Maine who I was put in contact with. I had heard he matched my level of discipline by putting in 14 hour days learning every single day. That has been the most rewarding thing I’ve done, because he put in a tremendous amount of work and we are now hiring him this week and I am fortunate enough to see and have directly contributed to the same life altering changes that have happened to me over the past few years.
Getting out of the lifestyle of a dealing addict is, in fact, one of the toughest things to persevere trough. And in my opinion, pretty much impossible without outside help. Glad to read this guy got that help by being transferred to the Maine prison system and everything that happened from that point onward.
This was discussed last year, see the link by wonger_ just below.

Seems like the author is doing well, based on the October update. Happy for him.
