Serial Killer's Soul (23 page)

Herman responded, “Mr. Heath was not in prison with the man. He’s entitled to his opinion. When I was in prison, I told doctors what I thought they wanted to hear. All prisoners do that. I think this is what Dahmer did, but he didn’t tell them everything. He was a racist. A prisoner will tell another prisoner the true story and based on what Jeff Dahmer told me in prison, I’d say he was a racist.”

Like Herman says in the last chapter, “Only God knows for sure.”

I just wanted to share both sides of the story.

Herman Martin
struggles daily to get back on his feet and stay with God because life outside prison is full of temptations. He has fought to gain control of his life by addressing his drug addiction. With the help of rehabilitation treatment centers in Milwaukee, he has tried hard to stay clean and avoid risky behaviors and situations. He has been to many centers, for both himself and for loved ones also struggling with addictions. The centers have helped by providing Herman with support, guidance, and the tools he needs to be successful in staying focused and taking responsibility for himself and for his drug recovery.

Herman plans to use the profits from this book to help his family as partial repayment for what he has taken from them and for all the pain he has caused. He also wants to give back to the community, helping those who are struggling with addictions and homelessness. He wants to make a difference.
