Addiction was Michael’s temporary solution to heal from a dark childhood trauma secret. Little did he know that being imprisoned and reading and writing for inmates that could not read or write. On October 13, 2017, Michael was miraculously released 2 years early from prison before completing his sentence. He traveled 300 Miles back to Dallas, Texas, to see Judge Jennifer Bennett to turn himself in. For the first time Judge Bennett could see this miraculous change that had taken place in Michael’s life, so she pardoned him and told him to go “pay it forward”. That’s what Michael Molthan has been doing for the last 7 years.
