However, James has since moved on to marry and raise three wonderful children while also owning a business. This is the narrative of how he ended up in prison, his experiences inside: the people, the challenges, the dishonesty, and the

Day 1 at Donaldson Correctional Facility left James feeling scared, dazed, and confused. As he tried to go to sleep locked in a cell all alone his mind began to wonder if he had done something wrong… The previous 9 months had been transformational, and he just couldn’t believe the events of the last 24 hours. That night he was glad to be all alone because he cried himself to sleep. Some time during the night he woke up and noticed his well-used Bible lying on top of all his stuff. He got up,

After an agonizing week in Lockup, facing the possibility of Life without Parole, and an unquestionable miracle from Jesus, James gets his first taste of Church in Prison. He is still skeptical, but ready to give it a try.

Kilby

In Season 2 Episode 3 “Kilby” James is headed off to Prison in The Alabama Department of Corrections. The thing that struck him the most was how old and outdated Kilby looked, and he felt like he had traveled back in time. He was full of faith and hope, but in the days ahead all that would be tested by devastating news about the “3-Strikes-You’re-Out” law that had become popular during the 90”s…Tune in for more.

The thing James thought could never happen to him (because he didn’t believe in any of that stuff) happened in a very real and radical way… Something on the inside of him that had been dead came to life. It was authentic, but his mind struggled with all of it, and he was fully convinced that surely Jesus would never ask him to go to Church. Tune in for more.

Although the conditions were better than the Jail in Monticello, he said it was very depressing to be overlooking the Bay and seeing all the folks on Vacation. They put him on the top floor with the worst of the worst criminals, and those guys prepped James for Prison. James says most of the guys were genuinely concerned for his well being, and worried that he wouldn’t survive. They taught him all the strategies to make
