Manfred Forest West was born in 1956 in Jayville New York. He is in prison for murder 2 and other charges.

•  Manfried grew up angry and mad at life in the backwoods of the  mountains in upstate New York. 
• They lived 4 miles from the nearest neighbors, the deep wilderness became his playground. Creeks, lakes, and old abandoned trail roads, caves and trees. His toys were sticks, old car parts, deer and bear skulls. 
• Manfred’s Father was a drunk, lived off the land hunting and trapping year-round. The family lived near a large swamp with the sounds of bullfrogs bellyaching all night, until his dad came home drunk. Then it was his turn to get beat.
• Manfried remembers the early morning dawn washing over the swamp, hearing the birds sing and wishing that his father was dead. 
• He ran away at the age of 15, off to town, jail, prison. 
• Manfried seemed to meet all the wrong people, learn all the wrong things, and he just let himself fall through the cracks of life.
• This story however is not how he became a criminal, but how he changed himself into the man he is today.
• They say people can’t change, but Manfried West has proved them all wrong. 
• This is his amazing story.
