Jonathan Wayne Nobles: A Rehabilitated Man

Jonathan Wayne Nobles was a Rehabilitated Man.
Jonathan Wayne Nobles made history in his life. There are many negativisms in this man’s life, but overall Noble’s life was a work of art. Many argue whether Nobles was truly rehabilitated. It is hard to become a better person when he is caged in brick walls that isolated him from the rest of the world. It is even difficult to overcome the demons that caused his actions that placed him in the hellish walls of Huntsville prison system. To be truly rehabilitated, it comes straight from the heart and soul. Actions are words at their finest. Looking at a person’s actions can tell how their heart speaks. Mr. Nobles had many actions that showed he was rehabilitated. Nobles became a changed man in the
Actions always speak louder than words. Nobles had many actions that silently stated he was remorseful and a rehabilitated man. Steve Earle noticed a difference in the letters they have written in the years together as pen pals. The first letters, according to Earle, had “Contained a lot of the usual tough rhetoric and dark humor I had learned to expect in letters from men and women in prison.” Through the years of being pen pals, Earle stated “I watched this transformation in the letters that I received.” Nobles and Earle were good, close friends. There was no need for Nobles to put on a front and act in a fake manor to Earle to be impressed. Nobles wrote from the heart, he had nothing to hide or be someone he is not. Nobles knew that he and Earle would be friends, whether or not he was remorseful. The letters that they wrote through the years was a form of rehabilitation, and there is proof of positive change. Another change in Nobles life is he was no longer violent. Once Nobles had “climbed the exposed pipes, coming from yard, kicking down television sets.” Eventually, transforming and becoming a lay member of the Dominicans. Turning to religion is a healthy rehabilitation in itself. Plus, one cannot be part of the lay members of the Dominicans if he is still off his rocker, therefore, he was rehabilitated. Another positive action took place when Nobles asked Earle if he could talk to his son, when Earle told him about a sack of
When he was strapped to the hospital gurney, he had some final words for the people he hurt. Why would someone who will be dead in a matter of minutes care to speak to the family of his victims. A person who is not remorseful or rehabilitated would leave this Earth leaving the victims’ family knowing he was not. A non-rehabilitated person would not care to say he was sorry. Wasting time, to get under the skin is not on the agenda for someone who is leaving this world. Nobles said his final words to the family because they will remember this day. They will remember the look in his eyes. He had a final saying to each member. The family will not forget the words he spoke to them individually. Nobles clearly states he is sorry, when he said, “I know you won’t believe me, but I am truly sorry for what I have done. I wish I could undo what happened back the and bring back your loved ones but I can’t.” Here, Nobles would not waste time telling the family he is remorseful, showing he had changed. A true non-remorseful person will not care to try one last time to prove he is rehabilitated and a different man. Nobles does not want to die, leaving behind the families thinking he was the same man the day he murdered the two girls and seriously injured Ron Ross. After he said his words to each member who was there to view the execution,
