This is the first time I've ever done anything like this but I figure it's at least worth a shot. I am starting this GoFundMe to pay for a lawyer to look at Richie Dennis case. He deserves an opportunity to get out and live life it is proven that for a Man studies consistently show the prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions like planning and impulse control, is one of the last brain areas to fully mature, continuing development well into the late 20s. He has spent 12 years in prison. 10 of which have been in segregation. For a situation that got way out of hand really quickly. A lot of us are cut from the same cloth. We learned to survive and when life got to the point to where we felt it was helpless some of us just wanted to die. That was the goal that day he just wanted the pain to stop and a couple of decisions landed him where he is right now. As he has matured throughout these years he has realized what he wants more than anything is the opportunity to build a life. The whole purpose of prison is to rehabilitate how is it considered rehabilitation locking someone in a cell with no hope of a future. It only takes a few minutes to share or to drop a couple dollars. One thing I've learned through life is money talks sometimes it's a deciding factor on whether someone gets an opportunity to live a life or not. The DA claimed that he was a monster I disagree he's a prime example of a young man trying to survive. Trying to block out the trauma trying to be a man when he didn't even know what that looked like. He deserves a chance to have a life.
