On December 9, 2011, Cal Lewis became federal inmate #43818-074. Raised in Atlanta, Georgia and a graduate of Morehouse College. Enrolled at the time in a PhD program at the University of Georgia, Cal found himself labeled as the leader on a federal conspiracy indictment for fraud. Bank records indicated Mr. Lewis made over $36,000 in one month during his scheme and over $150,000 in less than a year. With these charges, he faced up to 35 years in federal prison. He was subsequently sentenced to 70 months. While incarcerated, Cal channeled his energy towards the positive pursuit of writing novels and being of service to individuals seeking rehabilitation and a second chance. Released in 2016, Cal is now an author, Managing Director of a media company, criminal justice reform activist, and a member of the Board of Advisors for the nonprofit, Rehabilitation Enables Dreams, Inc. (RED). Cal is a traveling speaker and has plans on pursuing a law degree in the near future. To date, he has already been featured in Sheen magazine, The Atlanta Voice newspaper, and has been a featured speaker in a number of states around the country. His debut fiction novel, Maxed Out, is currently available on Amazon.
