Student Profile:James
I am a 27-year-old Ojibwe man with a turbulent past. I have been incarcerated numerous times in my life. This has been a continuous cycle that took many hardships and lonely nights to overcome. I was recently released from Oak Part Heights, a Minnesota maximum security prison.
