Shawn Yamate was born and raised in California. Falling in love with the 60's era lifestyle, he tattoo'd his moniker above his eyebrows. Sick Boy. In and out of juvi, mental health facilities, and then prison from his late teens. He moved up to Oregon as an adult, but that was his only change. Prison remained his constant and his most recent sentence puts him on the inside for life.
