A Prisoner's Freedom

We all have our own ways of escaping life’s callous reality. For some, it’s drinking the pain away, for others- acting out in senseless and sometimes deadly behaviors is the choice of poison. But for Michael Montoya, expressing himself through art, poetry and music eases his world.

Mike is spending his time nowadays at the Fremont Correctional Facility in Cañon City, Colorado; a release date of August 2015 is expected. Of course, spending hours upon hours in a six by nine concrete cell can take a toll on anyone’s sanity; Mike has found a creative outlet. During his time spent, he writes songs, rap lyrics, poetry, and creates drawings on any medium available.

This site is to introduce his work to the world; to let him form a connection from the inside to the outside.

Welcome.
