Ray Boyd was released from Cheshire C.F. in Connecticut in November of 2021 after serving 30 years. He is an author, public speaker, juvenile advocate and consultant. He is employed by Yale University.
He founded Next Level Emporment, a non-profit where he works tirelessly with "returning citizens" (those coming out of prison back into society) helping them make that challenging transition.
Ray went to prison in 1992 as a 7th grade dropout whose reading level was about grade 4, facing a 50 year sentence. He is truly proof that teenagers like him deserve a second chance.
His book The Model Inmate was published in 2021 and captures the essence of prison life through the voice of someone who has lived it continuously through different eras, administrations, and decades.
