Jermaine Jerrell Sims was born and raised in Richmond, VA to David Sims, Jr. and Georgea Mae Sims ( "Joyce" Sims) November 29, 1974. As a youth, Jermaine worked for two children's daycares, was involved in community work in underprivileged neighborhoods, was a member of the Public Access Television Show "Lambs Tales," and had a promising musical career in the making before becoming incarcerated. Jermaine graduated from Huguenot High School during the summer of 1993, and has since gone to college at Ashworth University, Norcorss, GA; earning a certificate in Small Business Management with a G.P.A. 4.0.

Jermaine began to start writing books based on his love for poetry and writing Hip-Hop songs. Thus, he transitioned his writing skills to his memoir entitled "I'm Not Bitter" back in 2011. Jermaine has since then began brain storming ideas to work on future literary works to be published.

Since incarceration, Jermaine has been teaching Adult Continuing Education (A.C.E.) classes in Spanish and Legal Research, is a mentor in the Transitions Inmate Mentoring Program (T.I.M.P.), and is a member of a Reentry Group at his current facility; helping to ensure the successful transitions of inmates back into society. He has amassed several clemency recommendations from both his late sentencing judge and his colleague, and currently is fighting to regain his freedom; as Jermaine has completed over 100 A.C.E., College, and OASIS Computer courses since incarceration. He has also been without any institutional incident reports for the last 18 years.
