In 1994, Paul Taylor (now known as Taylor Paul) was given a life sentence plus 26 years, of which he served 23 consecutive years before being granted parole in 2017. While on the inside, Taylor facilitated the state-mandated Cognitive Community Reentry Programs for the Virginia Department of Corrections for over five years. He ultimately went on to create his own program, called SANITY: Standing Against Negative Influences Towards Youth, and Co-founded the RVA League for Safer Streets, an unconventional basketball team that specifically targets and engages high-crime areas in Richmond, Virginia.
