I met Greg when I arrived at FCI Otisville and attended Catholic Services. He immediately welcomed me, and made me feel like part of the community. He also helped me adjust to life here. I had previously done time in the NY State prison system, and had a hard edge and attitude about prison. Greg took the time to work with me and show me that this is a place where people can work on themselves, help each other and find a community. Without Greg’s guidance, I undoubtedly would have ended up in the box for fighting – as I did at my past facilities. Greg is a kind hearted individual who went out of his way to help a complete stranger – me – to become a better person. Greg constantly checks on me, as he does for the Catholic Community, and all those around him. He is a leader and an inspiration to me and many others. I did not know Greg prior to his incarceration, but judging by the man he is now, I am glad to have met him. I fully support his efforts to secure his release, and would have no problem introducing him to my family and consider him a friend.
