John Jerome

I was 48 when I got out. It was rough, if it hadn't been for my family and the people who donated their time to help me, I just don't know. ... A lot of things were difficult, and the state of Georgia did nothing to help me.

They reconstructed the bill to $ 500,000 and I have to follow all these rules. I had to make promises get a job, do community service, I can't get rearrested, and if I violate any of these conditions, they were going to revoke the money. ... It's like I'm on parole or probation even though I'm free.
