I’m writing this letter to apologize for my actions. Because I understand they have put you under concerns if I’d do this to any of you. I’d like to put that to rest by showing you all I’m doing to change.
I also want you to see I’m not just sitting in here taking up another cell doing nothing to change. I’m involved in restorative justice, alternatives to violence and self-improvement classes.
Restorative justice has taught me all the effects my crimes had upon your community. Also the importance of writing this apology letter to all involved in my actions. I also attend church, Bible studies, do Bible studies by mail and sing in our choir.
