Yesterday i was resting at home and happen to watch this show playing on channel 5 from 1-3pm.

A real inspirational story about a man who became the baddest and meanest gangster alive. In prison, he has changed, instead of killing people, he has totally repent and made up for his mistakes by writing inspirational children's books.

As he was the one who started the mess, he was also the most credible person alive to stop those violence and tell his people that such killings were of no benefit to their community.

He began writing books which talks about how bad gang violence was and how the kids should not get involve with all the escapades. It was all about touching the children and to prevent them from joining gangs.

His books was sold almost everywhere in the world and so the books started to change children's mind and with that he won a multiple Nobel Peace Prize. I guess he is the first person ever in prison to win such a distinguish award.

Even knowing that he will be sentence to death, this was a man that made a difference to the world. He did not give up and tried and tried to make as much difference as possible. His books has inspired many and have changed so many lives...

Let's hope such work is still being carried on and we hope to see peace not war!!

Here's a summary from http://www.imdb.com

Redemption tells the story of Stan "Tookie" Williams, founder of the Crips L.A. street gang. Story follows his fall into gang-banging, his prison term, and his work writing children's novels encouraging peace and anti-violence resolutions which earned him multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations. After exhausting all forms of appeal, Tookie was executed by lethal injection at San Quentin State Prison, California; he was declared dead on December 13, 2005 at 12:35 a.m. PST (08:35 UTC). Williams is the 12th person to be executed by California since it reinstated the death penalty in 1977. Written by Anonymous
