About Me

My name is Anthony Winn. 

I am currently incarcerated within the Virginia Department of Corrections, at Dillwyn Correctional Center. 

In 1997, I committed several armed robbery offenses, and I received a total sentence of 36 years.


Since day one I've admitted my guilt and remorse. I dedicated my life toward change. Of course it wasn't an easy task, given that prison is an institution that resists change.


Prison is a world that has its own gravity that pushes and pulls, yet I am still standing firm.

I am very proud of who I've become and what I've survived. But still, more work is required. I've grown comfortable with knowing my strengths and weaknesses, but now I believe my gifts I present have surpassed prison.


My story and voice can be used to transform people's attitudes about prison reform. This can be looked at in a two step process.


  • First, by compiling good examples from resilient individuals in prison, as well as those who exceed the expectations and stereotypes of the willful blind and the active ignorant. I consider myself as a torch bearer shining my brilliance.

  • The second step is providing a platform where we can share success stories and useful resources.

My intention is to highlight the positive impact of a second chance.
