JASON BUCKHANAN,

My Name is Jason Buckhanan, I was born and raised in Oxon-Hill Maryland. The second to the oldest amongst Four other siblings 2 Brothers and 2 sisters. I was raised in a two parent home where sports was a family tradition. I grew up playing football and had a very good chance at potentially playing pro. Yet in the early 90 I lost track of what I was taught and got caught up in the street life, which cause me to fall into my current situations; Serving 15 year sentence for conspiracy to distribute Cocaine. These past few years has cause me to reflect on my actions and made me realize that I actually wasted allot of my talent and potential chasing what I thought was the most important thing to this existence i.e. "Money". But more often than not one never see's things for what they are... until you no longer have them and then you realize. "I rather have happiness, peace and freedom over all the money in the world." Therefore I'm currently writing a book title "I should of kept my Jersey on" (stay tune you'll be reading it sooner than later.) I'm striving by way of participating in the Convict Soap Box movement to give back to society what I have taken away, In hopes that I can save one who is just like me, when I was lost and confused about what life was about. If my compositions and American perspective can save or help any one, than I know that I have done what God has requested of me and I am doing what a man should do when he know better. So Thank you for your time and consideration and I pray that all of you support Convict Soap Box and it's positive agenda. Best Wishes, Jay
