From a Boy to a Man by William Roy Barfield

I thought it would be easy to write about my experience as a convict, but it’s not. I have buried so many painful memories; digging them up is discomfitting. It’s hard to find a flow when you’re writing about a subject that really stirs
your emotions. However, I will attempt this very feat…
My experience began on August 3, 1994. That was the day I turned myself in for 1st degree Intentional Homicide. I pled guilty to a plea bargain for 1st Degree Reckless Homicide. I went from facing life in prison to 45 years. November 21st I was sentenced to thirty years in prison.
