H.I.M. If this is where you stopped, this is where we start. I appreciate your time, interest, and effort. Being incarcerated is often like being forgotten, but in 2026, it’s a crazy world, so finding a positive connection is a good look. My name is Charles Irving Ellis. That’s Mr. Ellis to you. I’m in my fourth level (my 40s) and three summers from the door (freedom). I stand 6’3” and carry about 270 pounds. I’m hard to miss but easy to reach. With 20 years of imprisonment completed, I see things differently. I have always maintained certain values, such as honesty, loyalty, and respect. I have traveled through many hard times, but rather than complain about them, I have learned how to gain from it all: growth, resilience, and rehabilitation. Although some feel it’s best to turn down, I feel my best in times to turn up. No one lives forever, and by the grace of the Almighty, I offer this invitation into an experienced perspective. Friendships are forged in fire, and your actions define you more than your words ever could. Yet here I stand, not broken but ready to build… Can you hear me now? I enjoy reading, writing, and working out. I have written and published a few books while incarcerated. Time is the true currency in life, and I aim to spend it correctly. Positive energy is all I seek. Surrounded by the opposite, I look forward to a new approach… that sounds dope. Approaching a new day, I am grateful and open to hearing from you. Respectfully, Charles Irving Ellis
