Unlock The Drug Dealer Meets The Judge

Harry Saffold Jr. is the creator of UNLOCK, a series of short stories geared to educate the youth and their parents on the dangers of gangs, drugs, gun violence, domestic violence, bullying, etc. Life for Harry was of the norm, until age 10, he was sexually abused by an older cousin and neighbor at the age of ten. After experiencing sexual abuse at age ten, Saffold found himself on a troublesome path, moving through life with the intent to prove that he would no longer be a victim. Such tactics placed Saffold at odds with his immediate family, school officials, the community, and law enforcement, soon landing him in prison for 12 1/2 years. Today, Saffold leads a quiet life, but renders advice to the youth, their parents, and administrators at youth facilities through speaking engagements, film, and writing. Life is full of challenges, and the information we attain and apply allows us to go through, not untouched, but with results that are rewarding. For this reason, Saffold devotes time and creativity to tell stories that empower, educate, and lead In awareness, something we all need.
