About Brian Spinks
Trying to make a difference while in prison
Brian T. Spinks is currently serving a 60-year prison sentence related to an incident involving a police officer.
After spending nearly nine years surrounded by individuals focused on becoming better criminals, and witnessing the chaos of the George Floyd riots and the Covid-19 pandemic from behind bars, Brian decided to become an advocate for the police amongst the other prisoners to change their mindsets of cause and effect.
He asserts that many good people are in the penitentiary, though many are immature, uneducated, and lack a significant understanding of what the world has to offer.
Brian is outspoken against violence, racism, crime, and police advocacy from inside prison.
He says, "People will go further with rules, and the quickest way to undermine competency (in science) is to argue that two plus two does not equal four."
He continues, "Prejudice against the police is just as unintelligent as racism because you can't let the actions of a smaller percentile dictate your views regarding an entire people".
Brian's Story
An ongoing interview with Brian Spinks, exploring his transformative journey from drug addiction and imprisonment to embracing Christian values and police advocacy while incarcerated
Brian was motivated by his peers to improve his life in prison. According to Brian, "there are a ton of classes (facilitated BY inmates who have taken training courses) already. Those guys truly deserve more credit than I have been given already. That being said, inmates are taking these classes who have literally said, "F--- the Police!" throughout the entire class." I am one of the individuals who attempted to obtain a "Field Minister" badge by earning a B.A. degree in Christian Theology, but fell short. "
I want people to know that there are some truly inspiring Field Ministers at work here who deserve way more credit. I can already tell you F.M.s:
- Chad, who created the Grindstone Project, and you want to talk about inspiring? Men cried. While working out (as part of an exercise program for G-4s). I also maybe cried (I had special permission to be there).
- J.T., who is super smart, is appropriate when all others fail, and just a great dude. He is probably walking somewhere right this second, busy as hell, doing something FOR SOMEONE ELSE!
- "Man-Tron"- he's Asian, and I can't spell his name, but he's someone you want to sit next to in Church for a reality check-list type of influence.
- Lee, who will go out of his way, and not forget, to get you stuff like a pair of glasses (even though they are frames that Ted Bundy might've owned).
The guys in Bible College are so damn unique and inspiring that I am almost ashamed to have a website about me doing good things in prison.
A dude named "School Boy," was so impressive with his workout routine and studying in the day room that I (of all people) joined the Bible College myself and became serious about a philosophy that is legitimately life-altering, heart-changing, and (our hope is) soul-saving.
