By Grayson Pope www.prisonfellowship.org Darryl Brooks lived for the streets. He was using marijuana at 10 and selling drugs by middle school. He continued to sell as an adult, until he caught law enforcement’s attention and received a 50-year sentence. Five years into his sentence, Brooks trusted Jesus for his salvation. He says, “God wrecked my life, and I ain’t been the same since.” In 2000, he was transferred to the Carol S. Vance Unit in Richmond, Texas, where his wrecked life was rebuilt into something much stronger. After arriving at the Carol S. Vance Unit, Brooks enrolled in the Prison Fellowship Academy®, which offers incarcerated men and women a pathway to holistic life transformation. Brooks didn’t know it at the time, but he was taking part in a relatively new experiment in corrections spearheaded by Prison Fellowship founder Charles “Chuck” Colson.
