Deepertruth: Through Terry Delp's Conversion, He Receives a Second Pardon

In the words of Terry Delp, his story is of a "youth completely lost in the world of gangs and violence". As a result, in 1987, at age 14, Terry joined a gang that would take him down a dark road. He grew up in juvenile detention centers and later prisons.

In gangs, so many of our young people take them on as a family. That is the kind of commitment that they offer the gangs. Many of them do not have father figures and many get caught up in drugs and violence. Ultimately, Terry would become the gang leader in the gang he had been initiated.

After 18 years serving a 63 year prison sentence in the Texas State Prison system, Terry Delp was given his freedom being "Twice Pardoned" as his faith radically changed him forever. In November 2001, after much prayer and study, Terry Delp was received into the Catholic Faith.
