April 6th 2024.
Last year, just before Christmas, something remarkable happened in New York. Governor Kathy Hochul made the decision to grant clemency to Travell Coleman, also known as G. Dep, a former artist under Bad Boy Records. After serving 13 years of a 15 years to life sentence, he was finally released from prison on April 4th.
The news of G. Dep's release spread like wildfire, with many eagerly waiting to see him walk out of the Fishkill Correctional Facility in Upstate New York. As he made his way out, he was greeted by a crowd of family and friends who were overjoyed to see him free once again. With a bald head and a salt-and-pepper beard, he carried a large bag containing his belongings and embraced the people who had come to welcome him back into the world.
The heartwarming moment was captured and shared on social media, with one video showing G. Dep enjoying his first meal as a free man at a local IHOP. As he proudly showed the camera the menu, he exclaimed, "I'm free at last." It was a powerful and emotional moment for him and those who had supported him throughout his incarceration.
But G. Dep's journey to freedom was not an easy one. In 1993, before he was signed to Bad Boy Records and released his hit album "Child of the Ghetto" in 1998, he committed a fatal crime. He killed a man named John Henkel in a failed robbery attempt and managed to escape the consequences for years. However, his conscience eventually caught up with him, and in 2010, he turned himself in to the authorities, confessing to the crime he had committed.
For many years, G. Dep's rap career was put on hold as he faced the consequences of his actions. But in 2024, something unexpected happened. An application for clemency was supported by the very same attorney who had prosecuted him and the judge who had presided over his case. And to everyone's surprise, Governor Hochul granted clemency to G. Dep, along with 16 other individuals.
It was a moment of redemption for G. Dep, who had spent years reflecting on his past and trying to make amends for his actions. With a new chance at life, he was determined to make the most of it and leave his past behind. And as he walked out of prison, surrounded by loved ones, he knew that he was finally free to start a new chapter in his life.
