Designed Conviction a Social Enterprise

David Bomber

Incarcerated Artist

Hello there, my name is David Bomber. I am a 46 year old, native of Detroit, Mi., however for most of my life I have resided in Roanoke, Va. There, I attended Virginia Western Community College where I first pursued a degree in information systems technology, then later in Electrical Engineering before becoming interested in the study of law. Although my goal to obtain a degree has temporarily been put on hold, these days I nonetheless am a huge proponent for criminal justice reform and advocacy.

Besides my quest for fair punishment, I am in search of positive minded people to correspond with. In turns what you will discover is not only am I an avid writer that loves to share my thoughts and stories with others, but also I am a great listener too!

If this sounds like something that you would be interested in, then please do not hesitate to reach out to me by sending me an email at www.jpay.com (Jpay is a dedicated site that the Virginia Dept. of Corrections allows prisoners to send and receive emails through). In the alternative you may reach me via snail mail at the address below.

Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope that I hear from you soon

Sincerely
David

A person can go so far on memories alone. I desire for someone who can show me a different side to life from which I’m accustomed. I’m searching for someone who’d want to share experiences, have a good laugh and bring positive vibes to my life. If that’s you, it’ll...

My life changed forever at age 20, as I was arrested and faced murder charges. I was in disbelief. Fast forward a couple of years, riding back from the courthouse in the patty wagon, shackled and chained, having just been sentenced to life without the possibility of...

Every show will promote the artist’s work and be dedicated to supporting a cause by working with a charity. As the community evolves, we will be able to provide more opportunities.

A Journey of Necessity

You can earn parole, even as a lifer, but it requires the hardest work of your life every single day. You must dig deep, find the darkness inside, and rid yourself of it. You must search out the things you buried and hid away and bring them to the surface so you can face them and overcome them.

We need your help

As stated before, are men pushing not for our own freedom, but to show that within these dwellings there are individuals who are worth fighting for. The only limits a person has are the ones that they place on themselves, and we are striving to continue to place our faith in God that he will guide our steps as we venture into the unknown and place the right people and tools
