Early life
Senghor was raised in a middle class family in Detroit during the 1980s. He ran away from an abusive home at the age of 14, after which he was convinced to join the illegal drug trade by more experienced dealers.
Murder and imprisonment
In the summer of 1991, Senghor shot and killed a man, after which he spent 19 years in different prisons in Michigan, seven years of which were in solitary confinement. Of these seven years, four and a half of the years he spent in solitary confinement were consecutive. He was released from prison in 2010.
