Mike, I’m in the same situation as you. When I was sentenced in 2002 (county jail) the law was 20 years. But as I later found out, that 20 years doesn’t start until your probation ends. My probation ended in 2009, so I have to wait until 2029 to be removed from the registry.

Yeah Bishop was still there. We had a group of @6 did weights every day with him. And another Navy guy can’t remember his name. We both served around the same time. Funny when I was in trial I was denied bail because they said I served a bunch of years overseas and knew how to operate outside the US. Thereby a flight risk. Ain’t that a thank you for your service.

Well , I appreciate your kindness , Cherokee.

I was ADTC-2161 with a 3 also. Was T. Bishop still there? I was there when Megans Law was started on 10/31/94 an released in Feb the following year. For Life was about a guy that the Somerset County Prosecutor framed. It was just 2 seasons I hear 50 cent is in it. I have a whole lot more to add on Bissell. It’s a wild story as they say he fled house arrest after being found guilty on 33 federal charges. Goes from Skillman, NJ to Laughlin, NV with a Nationwide APB and BOL gets caught with a hooker in the room ( They don’t tell you that ) After 10 minutes he blows his brains out.

Hey Allen.
A little back story. I originally did a year at Feds for money issues, while there daughter (ex-wife) charged me with sexual contact. Being a hard core drunk and not sure what I’d done ( or not) and since I was already in custody, I took a plea for 5 ( hard). Went to Southwoods. 95-2000. Get out and I’m framed by roommate ( long story) plea deal for 3 but asked for rehab this time. ADTC 2001-2003. I haven’t kept in contact with anyone, I fought hard to make a life. ( actually went to a private seminary and got ordained and worked in Newark) I’m retired and somewhat comfortable. I lived in Newark for 15years moved to Western NJ and still doing quartet reports, like it originally said; which I had no knowledge of and because I plead on that second bull crap charge, I’ve got two charges that no one told me would make me ineligible to ever get off MEGAN.
Thank you
Vince
BTW. Not familiar with For Life.

I can’t wait to see it. I’m not allowed to watch them because it could taint what is going down. I’ve been in contact with Isaac but only to ask one small question. I knew them both Isaac Wright and Nick Bissell. The 2 chapters I was allowed to read I laughed because I knew exactly that time. Well this new conquest I’m on here in Florida will help I hope. I’m not gonna settle for nothing less then changes. I hope these Expose Facto lawsuits do well also. What helps me is the time. NJ was the first state with Megans Law on 10/31/94 and Florida is trying to use the VCC or Biden crime bill JWA on 9/13/94 Now Congress passed the Amendment of Public Notification of registry on 5/17/96 all of which are after conviction and Tiering of Level 1 Not for Public notification. LCSO is pushing it off on FDLE.

I cried like a whipped child when “For life” ended. I would have liked to kept the show going. I turned into mush every episode. Once you get sent away, Jesus, Moses, and Cher could speak on your behalf and the department of corrections just laughs at you.

We know there are a lot of people locked up unlawfully and a lot of people not locked up that should be. I see on the news all the time offenders who have a rap sheet as thick as a manuscript, but they let them out due to “Overcrowding”. Just who are they making room for?

Mike

I had to go through 4 different counselors before I could feel comfortable. The other 3 were condescending and were making me feel worse than before I sought some assistance with depression. Don’t be afraid to find another counselor and keep trying until you are a match.

It is the same with doctors. I have lots of medical issues and when I get a doctor who talks down to me or talks at me, I never go back. It is the same with dating and everything in life. If you are not a fit, move on and find that match. Even cashiers at the store, I have some whose line I pass on even if they have no line. If they are nasty or short with me, I avoid them.

I will keep you in my prayers and if I knew you, I would give you a big ole Cherokee Bear hug.

When were you in ADTC? I was there 1993-1995 7R from Somerset County. You will know of me real soon. I was a tier 1 they put on the public registry. If you watch For Life I’m the one who gave him the note on Bissell. I’m gonna do my best to help with this we deal with.
