Alex Cordova is 24 years old and incarcerated in Colorado, USA

The beauty in breaking is that when you're rebuilt, you're stronger than before. My name is Alex, but my loved ones call me Craze. I'm outgoing, and I love to laugh and smile—even under these circumstances, I keep a smile on my face. This time has not only helped mold me into the man I am today, but it has also helped me learn about who I am as a person and the value of life.

When I'm not in class, I spend my time reading and working out. I'm a passionate man, and I put my whole heart into anything I invest my time in, which is why loyalty means so much to me. I've been betrayed, played, and forgotten about over the years, but I won't allow that to change my heart or who I am. I value loyalty and family to the highest degree. I don't have kids, but I hope to one day have a family of my own.

I believe everything happens for a reason, and there's a reason you came across my profile. Why not take a leap of faith and let's find out why our paths crossed instead of wondering what could've been? Coming into this, I don't want to put limits or expectations on anything. Friends or something more—I just want it to be real. If you want to write me, be sure to leave your contact info in the letter.
