Jake’s Page

Jake 05-24-2024

This page is dedicated to my friend Jake, whom I’ve known since elementary school. Jake “Shadoe” Klemp is a prisoner of the Michigan Department of Corrections. He is serving a life without parole (LWOP) sentence. That means Jake will die in prison unless he is paroled or receives a pardon or commutation. On this page you will learn in Jake’s own words about his journey from growing up in a small, conservative community, in a middle-class family, to his status as MDOC Asset No. 231238.
