are steering toward the rocky shores of criminality. Hawkins developed a future vision of a crime prevention lecture he planned to give at high schools across the country following his release from prison.

The author is currently eligible for parole, but has not been released from prison because California’s parole system has been corrupted by decades of "tough on crime" politics. Recently, three federal judges ordered California to release 40,000 inmates over the nest two years because prison overcrowding has led to unconstitutional, deplorable medical conditions. As a result of this court order, Hawkins is hopeful that he will be released at his next parole eligibility hearing, which will be held during the first quarter of 2011. He plans to live in San Diego, where he will promote hisbooks and work as a public speaker, marketing/self publishing consultant and weight loss transformation elicitor. »» click here to contact the author »»

Hawkins has two additional books. The first, titled Principles of Grace is a parable that revolves around a teenage girl named Grace who is drugged and "gang-banged" by a dozen boys. The sadistic gang initiation destroys her sense of self-worth. Grace’s teacher, Daniel, draws upon an ethereal wisdom known as the Principles of Grace to help Grace develop self-esteem and ultimately discover purpose in life.

The second book, The Dirty Nasty Truth is based on the CROP program. It is a crime prevention/juvenile delinquency measure wherein a dozen felons, including Hawkins, describe the crimes they committed and the lessons learned.
