Sam expressed regret for his actions and admitted that he was not living a good life.
''I'm sorry for my actions. After I came to prison and was introduced to the gospel, I realised what I did was wrong. I realised that I was not living a good life,'' he said.
Asked if he was not attending church before his incarceration, he said:
''Before prison, I was not attending church, I gave myself to God but I was not attending church.''
Sam broke down in tears while narrating that life was difficult before prison due to extreme poverty.
According to him, even though he has been set free, he will be sleeping on the bare floor when he goes home.
Life at Ankaful
Comparing his time at the Ankaful Prison and Awutu, Sam disclosed that life at the former was excruciatingly unbearable, revealing the food given them was not the best.

Briefly News previously reported that when Adams was only 17-years-old, he decided to go to a party at the University of Wisconsin, where a student's false accusation changed his life forever.
Three weeks after the party, Adams was getting ready to start junior college in the fall of 1998, but he was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a student at the varsity party.
Although he was innocent, Adams' attorney thought the best route to follow during the court procedures was the "best defense is a no-defense" strategy, NBCNews reported.
