Ray Woodfork, a former aspiring college basketball player, learned valuable skills from the Golden State Warriors' Twinning Project while serving time at Solano State Prison. Faced with a challenge to fight by a younger inmate, he chose to walk away, demonstrating personal growth and conflict resolution. The program, inspired by similar initiatives in the UK, equips inmates with coaching abilities, emphasizing the potential for positive change. Woodfork's experience led him to begin writing rap lyrics, reflecting his journey and transformation through this innovative rehabilitation program supported by NBA teams.
This time, the once-aspiring college basketball player, who was serving as referee for the prison football league that day, immediately made it clear he had no interest in an altercation.
Woodfork began writing rap lyrics about his experience with the Twinning Project, which started in the UK by pairing professional soccer teams like Arsenal and West Ham United of the Premier League with prisons.
