"Writing my Way to Freedom: How a Novel Saved my Life in Prison"

The speaker, Sean Dustin, reflects on how his past behavior has landed him in a difficult situation where he can no longer talk his way out of it or blame others. He asks the other speaker, Anthony Bucci, if he had a similar realization or revelation during his time in prison. Anthony shares that he did not have a revelation during his first sentence, but it was during his second sentence when he was sentenced to 21 years that he had a spiritual awakening or road to redemption. He reflects on how he initially had a chip on his shoulder and was bitter, but eventually decided to change his life by writing a novel, volunteering, taking educational classes, and training dogs for the handicapped. He was able to get an early release through prison reform and now strives to be the best version of himself every day, although it's not easy.
