Isaac Cavil “TK”

My true name is Takari Kyiel Cavil, but I’m currently incarcerated under (ISAAC CAVIL #877610). I’m writing from Aberdeen, Washington at Stafford Creek Correctional Center. I am an Author, Artist, and Entrepreneur. I own three successful businesses and I’m looking to build my own empire. I’ve been blessed to use this platform to share with you views and experiences about being incarcerated.

I come from a single parent home and though my mom instilled in me everything I needed to be successful in life, I allowed myself to be influenced by my peers and the gang lifestyle because it was presented to me as a brotherhood, it was like a family that I never had. After graduating high school, I threw away an opportunity to pursue my Architect career and the opportunity to start my own Gaming company, because I chose my gang affiliation and to surround myself around chaotic influences and situations. Which ultimately lead to me being incarcerated for 3 counts of Assault in the First Degree and Drive-by shooting.

Going to prison at a young age was very stressful, depressing, and defeating. You are thrown into a society of individuals were its survival of the fittest and respect is everything. After three failed attempts at taking my own life while doing a 48 and half month program in Solitary Confinement, I picked up a pen and started writing and I haven’t looked back since. Writing has help me channel my emotions, my feelings, every experience, and all the negative energy around me into poems and stories that I could use to reach and touch others who are going through or have gone through the same experiences.

I plan to talk more about my life journey but for now I will be blogging about relationships and traditions, which I’ll be writing about once a month. My hope is that I’ll be able to offer advice, understanding, and help for those reading and bring to light that even though we are incarcerated, we can still be productive members in our community. -TK
