Chad Marks Crime

Chad Marks tells how a court gave him a forty-year forty sentence in the Federal Prison System. At age 24, Chad Mark was facing most if not all of his life in prison for a non-violent drug crime. To make matters worse, if that is possible, the Bureau of Prisons sent him one of the worst and toughest federal prisons in the system. Chad Marks survived 17 years in places where beatings, stabbings, and death were part of every day. After he was able to obtain an early release he wrote Blood on the Razor Wire to tell the story of how he turned a life of despair into a life of hope. In this book, the reader can feel the disappointment, hope, fear, and desperation of never knowing if today will be your last day in every paragraph.

Chad Marks – The Rest of the Story

During his time “behind the walls,” Chad taught himself the law and became known as “Lawyer,” by both staff and prisoners. Chad Marks secured releases and/or reduction of sentences for many fellow inmates. He taught classes in basic reading and writing to many inmates. He found himself teaching Alternative to Violence Project Seminars, Leaders Breed Leaders, and many other rehabilitative programs. In 2019 Chad wrote and filed his own Moptio0n for Reduction of Sentence and a court sided with him and reduced his 40 year sentence to 20 years. After his release Chad  Marks continues his work for prisoner’s rights as a paralegal for Freedom Fighters & Prison Consultants. He is also the owner of FEL$CON, a business that provides services to prisoners across the country.

Chad Marks – The Entertainer

Chad is the kind of guy who never stays still. In addition to his other work and his book, Blood on the Razor Wire, he produces a series of YouTube Videos on his On The Razor Wire Channel, . Check out his Channel for many great prison stories.
