What You Need to Know About Me:
Seth M Ferranti, federal prison register 18205-083, is the Gorilla Convict Writer. In 1993, after spending two years as a top-15 fugitive on the US Marshal's most wanted list, he was captured and sentenced to 304 months under the federal sentencing guidelines for an LSD Kingpin conviction and committed to the custody of the Attorney General. A first-time, non-violent offender, Ferranti has served 15 years of his 25-year mandatory minimum sentence. His case was widely covered by The Washington Post and Washington Times, and his story was profiled in the pages of Rolling Stone and Don Diva magazine. His current release date is October, 2015.

During his incarceration Ferranti has worked to better himself by making preparations for his eventual release back into society. Ferranti earned an AA degree from Penn State, and a BA degree from the University of Iowa through correspondence courses. He is currently pursuing his Masters from California State University, Dominguez Hills.
Greetings-
Check out my new blog posting at www.gorillaconvict.com. It's part of a chapter from my book Street Legends. It features Pistol Pete, and the previous one featured Aaron Jones from the legendary Junior Black Mafia from Philadelphia. I also want to let you know that I was featured in the People are Talking About section in the October 2008 issue of Black Men magazine. My book was in the Hot on the Streets section in 4Front magazine too. Check them out. I'm hard at work on Street Legends Vol. 2. I just finished the chapter on Frank Mathews and am starting the chapter on the Boobie Boys. The book will also feature Michael Fray, Peanut King, the Short North Posse and the New World. It should be available by the June 2009. Check it out.


Later,
Seth

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.htmlhopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!

Welcome to the community, Seth. I've read quite a bit of your 'Gorilla Convict' writing - especially the stuff about the late '80's and early '90's thug life down here in D.C. It was definitely an eye opener.
 
 

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
