Hi. This is Mr. Jenkins from Corcoran State Prison. Today is August 12, 2025. Today’s topic is, “Who is Mr. Jenkins?” The reason why I put that is I wanted to kind of explain a little bit who I am, a little bit, and what I’m doing. First of all, I came to California in 1997 and came from Memphis, Tennessee. I was born in Memphis, two great parents, siblings, brothers and sisters. You know, we got in trouble. I got in trouble like everybody else. Like kids do – that’s growing up. I never had any issues with family matters. I came from a good home. But now; I moved to California, say, in ’97 and I get, you know — California is a bright light — so we get caught up in California, and we go, you know, and we see the stuff on TV. That’s how, whenever you talk about me, I’ve seen stuff on TV from California. But it’s not all what it seemed, and I learned that. I’ve been did time and my third number — I haven’t did a lot of time, but this time I have. I’m getting ready to come home now. Gotta [unclear] myself. I am going to be doing some things that they said that we couldn’t do. Number one, I’m gonna be running for office next year in California – was approved for that. I’m going to continue doing a little broadcasting. I do once a month, on Tuesday. I’m going to be also doing stories from San Francisco Bay View. I’m also created an organization called Inmate Life Matters. It’s continuing helping prisoners inside the prison system. I have also been in the paper; in the San Quentin paper, Treasure House in Mexico- Albuquerque, [New] Mexico, I have been in the paper.
I have got a letter from the warden, the senator, and I’m also working on getting letters from Maxine Waters and some others and some celebrities that I have presented some information to. I’m also working on some bills; on the Voting Rights bill in California, to be able for prisoners to be able to vote inside the prison system. I am also doing some charity event when I get out. I raise money for prisoners inside and people outside. My whole focus is to turn LWOP [life without the possibility of parole] into life with possibility parole and turn their life into going home. I’m working on some bills that says that whoever you are, don’t matter, no color line. I don’t believe in color line. I believe in straight respecting people. It’s not about your race, it’s not about your size or how you look. It’s about what you have inside. Inside means that you have a good heart. It’s called respect, and if you don’t have respect, you don’t expect to get respect back. The whole thing, issue, is you have to know who you are.
I’m also running, and just got approved, a dance class inside the prison system that teaching people the fundamental of dancing. And I’m also, for next season, America Got Talent; I just applied for that online with young people that’s out there to apply for me. So, I will be on America Got Talent online. America Got Talent in August of next year. So, I’m doing a lot of more things. I have a book coming out and working on that. So, I have been doing a lot since I’ve been locked up and learned a lot, and I’m helping a lot of people. I am also a mentor for over 20 people that I mentor and help them with legal work. So, I’ve been busy inside the prison system, and I’m going to continue when I get out. I’m working with some attorneys right now to make sure that every prisoner get a fair share, every person that goes to court, get a fair share, no bias. I am trying to stop the bias in court, in the justice system, so I’m really fighting hard. I am going to be meeting with the representative also, in August of next year, pertaining to what we call the “big hitter,” to propose some things that need to be passed. So, this is what I’ve been doing. This is what I’m going to continue doing. So, I’m just showing you a little bit what I am going to do when I get parole, 2026, and it’ll be in June. Don’t know the date, but it’ll be in June, and I will be working with lawmaker, city councilor, senator. I also wrote to the President of the United States, Mr. Trump, and I have some issues pertaining to prison system, to see what he can do. And in the case of that, so I’m going to leave you with a be good.
Be good to yourself and know that Mr. Jenkins is out there fighting for you and your loved one. So don’t be a stranger. You can reach me on prisonradio.org if you want to listen to that. You can write me at my name is Mr. Jenkins. BM4522, 4B-3R-C-42 PO Box 3481 Corcoran, California, 93212. I will respond back, and I hope that you do listen in just a little detail who I am, and if you want more information, what I do or where I am, and more information, I have no problem with that, but it just means that be good to you your family, and make sure that you know what you’re doing when you’re doing it, and don’t allow anybody to dictate what you want to do and who you are. With that, thank you and have a blessed day.
