Thomas M. Fox

Thomas M. Fox was born in 1958 and adopted at birth by the only parents he has ever known. Abused sexually very young by an older boy, and later by a coach, he turned to drugs. Trying to quiet the nightmares, he started using by the time he was only nine years old. In and out of trouble all his life, married and divorced, Thomas is the father of twins named Anthony and Sissaly. Living the life of an outlaw led Thomas to prison twice, the second time for murder. He is now serving a life-without-parole sentence in a California Prison. His body failing from years of drug abuse and suffering also from joint problems, Thomas spent the first few years in prison in a wheelchair. His job was helping other inmates with parole dates get their GEDs or diplomas. Medical tech came around in his tenth year in prison that could actually help him get out of the wheelchair. Out of his chair now, he is a care-giver and helps other inmates deal with their handicap limitations.
