A Matter of Time

At nineteen, one mistake cost me my freedom. Escaping would cost me everything else.When a petty crime led to a prison sentence far harsher than the offense, I refused to accept the future the system had written for me. Over the next eight months, I developed a method of operation that opened doors-creating opportunities that allowed me to leave when the moment was right.What followed was eighteen years on the run-crossing borders illegally, hiding in plain sight, and surviving as a fugitive in a world without smartphones, without digital footprints, and without second chances.This is the unfiltered truth of life behind bars, the moment that set my escape in motion, and the relentless years that followed as I tried to build a life while always looking over my shoulder.A Matter of Time is a raw, deeply human prison memoir about crime, unjust punishment, and the brutal cost of freedom. It's about the quiet battles no one sees, the choices that haunt you, and the stubborn will to stay alive when the world decides you don't deserve to be.Honest, harrowing, and ultimately redemptive, this true story pulls back the curtain on the justice system, the realities of survival, and the long road toward reclaiming your humanity.Perfect for readers of true crime memoirs, prison escape stories, and powerful tales of redemption.Audio edition available.
