In a recent interview with VladTV, Tray Deee discussed his journey to embracing Islam while incarcerated and dispelled a common myth about inmates converting for protection. Tray Deee clarified that while some prisoners might seek refuge in religion, it’s not a widespread practice. He emphasized the importance of sincerity and addressing one’s past before fully committing to any faith. Tray Deee shared his personal experience of attending Nation of Islam events and ultimately taking his Shahada in the spring of 2005 during his sentence. Despite being on lockdown in Salinas Valley Prison in 2004, he actively sought to become a Muslim and participated in Ramadan, even without a formal initiation. For the past 20 years, Tray Deee has maintained his commitment to Islam, continuing to pray five times a day and actively engaging with his religious community. He highlighted that his faith journey was genuine, rooted in a deep personal conviction rather than a strategy for survival in prison.
