Rodrick Cole

I was originally sentenced to 125 years, a sentence that guaranteed I would die in prison. I was granted clemency in December 2020 after having served 13 years. Since coming home, I have been working full-time as a chef in my sister's catering business. I earned my GED and Associates in prison through Ulster Community College of Hudson Link, and plan to go back to school to obtain my B.S. in Sociology. I also hope to work as a counselor helping young people learn ways to solve their problems without violence.
