Arriving in England, I worked as a janitor for a few months, before enrolling into Brixton Community College. After a brief period, I dropped out of college and migrated to the United States of America.
Once in America, I took up residence in New York City, where I found work at a car repair shop. I work at the shop for a brief time before meeting up with old friends from Jamaica, this opened a new way of life for me.
Not long and I was buying and selling everything I could get my hands on; Quickly I went from a no name to a law enforcement target. In 1993, I was arrested and sent to prison for three life sentence plus 40 years in federal prison.
I appealed my conviction and was resentence to four concurrent 30-year sentence, during my imprisonment I went to college and I have written six books and countless of speeches and other unpublished material.
This is the first part of my trilogy titled JAMAICAN GANGS OF NEW YORK, I am now free from prison and living in London where I am busy trying to put my life back together. From here I send you all much peace and blessings.view less
