John Nobles Rehabilitated Case Study

Was John Nobles Rehabilitated? There are a few things to consider when it comes to whether or not someone has been rehabilitated. It could be for drugs, alcohol, or even murder. In this case, it’s for all three. John Wayne Nobles did his terrible acts in 1986 murdering two woman and nearly another man. He knew he was going to prison and what he had done was wrong but that didn’t stop him from alienating all of the guards and most of the inmates. But sooner than later people had noticed he started to change for the better. He became interested in Catholicism and joined the Dominican Order of Preachers standing as a godfather and encouraging other people to change for the better as well.

He appreciated the effort Earle put in even when he forgot. Last but not least is how heartfelt John was when he was apologizing to Mitzi Nalley’s mother. Being the last thing he said to her before he died, “I know some of you won’t believe me, but I am truly sorry for what I’ve done. I wish that I could undo what happened back then but I can’t.” Also, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I wish I couldn’t bring her back to you. And Ron…I took so much from you. I know you probably don’t want my love, but you have it.” And the last thing he sang before he had the wind pushed out of his lungs was “Silent Night”, and that was only because his mother used to sing it to him before
