i like to see people get involved and help to put focus on Generational incarceration to help young people stay out of prison. Its also a victims right issue because for ever kid we reach that is one less victim out there in the world. I’d like to see funding for 25yr old non-profit organization Reconciliation http://www.reconciliations.org leader in stopping cycle of generational incarceration out of Nashville Tennessee. I would like a book deal and later a movie deal to raise money to use in the long struggle for policy change in how we as a Nation handle our criminal justice system…. My lofty goal is to close prison’s and open up healing centers where when the book gets thrown at some one its the DSM5 (mental health diagnostic bible) I believe that criminal behavior is a symptom of mental illness and should be treated not punished.

The first challenge is too have a serious dialogue and change our mind set from cowboy justice and revenge and pandering to vigilantism. We need to stop doing what does not work. we have been doing the same way since the founding of our Nation and it has not slowed crime down one victim. In fact there is evidence that our approach has actually made us less safe, by creating a subculture of violent criminals who are in truth mentally ill

OnRoadAgain conversation with Andy Dixon @andydixn who served 27yrs in prison illegally sentenced to life without parole recorded by geo geller – conversation somewhere the night of 11/07/09 between Tuscon Arizona and New Mexico

background from geo geller – i answered a ride share from sf bay area with somebody going east and that is how i met andy dixon. the first part 1 conversation was on our second day together, little did i know it was going to be an amazing ride of a life time from the moment we started in san jose california it was an adventure – andy is an easy going guy as you can see so we talked freely… he is also a self described generational criminal, trucker, singer songwriter who wears a cowboy hat to name a few – from my years of being a wanderer/traveler both on land/mind/body i was pretty much comfortable with anything anybody throws my way but andy took me by surprise not only was he open, intuitive, insighful, trustworth and now a valued friend,  he is somebody i respect and somebody to listen too - from andy’s life he has learned what he needed to teach, to embrace his challenges and embrace resistance – all along the way people where calling him all hours mostly ex-cons looking for help, finding jobs, guidance etc and there was andy a fountain of insights - what you will hear in the conversations OnRoadAgain with andy dixon is more then stories or his friendship with James Earl Ray in prison, prison insights, being a con inside and out, relationships, trust, caring, love,  honesty, integrity and much more – stay tuned for OnRoadAgain conversation with Andy Dixon
