Sohna says he didn’t have much money growing up, which motivated him into stealing and other crimes.

After several encounters with police and going in and out of jail, Sohna found himself facing 15 years in prison at just 17 years old, charges included first-degree burglary, destruction of property, theft, and gun-related charges.
Sohna got used to life behind bars at Patauxent Institution in Jessup, Maryland, Harris on the other hand was focused on getting ready for college.
“Pre-SAT, Pre-ACT, college applications and recommendation letters, these were the things that were consuming my energy,” Harris said of his focus.
Harris was doing well for himself, he said he never forgot about Sohna. “There was a lot of worry and there was some guilt and shame involved because I felt like maybe I could have been there for Sura better during those years,” Harris said.
Sohna says he too thought about Harris and was happy for his success however, lamented his own situation. “He was doing something better with his life and I was in the worst place there could be on earth,” Sohna said.
