Douglas realized he needed to turn his life around when in solitary confinement. "I believe the moment where I started to change direction was when I was given my second sentence," he recalled. "I was in solitary confinement and I felt something cracking or breaking inside of me."

"At that point, I knew I had two paths left open to me, and one path I probably would not have made it back from."
