Michael Santos-Pathways to Reform
My Journey Back: My name is Mike. I’m not going to give my full name because I’m still in the halfway house. The Bureau of Prisons released me earlier this May after I served an 84-month sentence for a white-collar case. While serving my sentence, I met Michael Santos, founder of Prison Professors, a nonprofit. […]

Got a little poetic today… I’m a warrior-scholar with a soul forged in fire — a man who’s wrestled with the system, wrestled with God, and lived to tell about it. I have moved between legal briefs and Scripture, between integrative medicine and inner healing, with the mind of a strategist and the heart of […]

It is such a good feeling to know that I have people that actually love me and want the best for me. I say this because there is so much hate in the world that negativity seems to be everywhere and positivity seems to be nowhere. Yet when I hear their encouraging words it makes […]

Racial pride is a strange thing, with rules that must be carefully followed, and that do NOT apply the same way to all people. I’m am the descendent of Gaelic and Bohemian immigrants. I do tan in the summer, after the layers of burn peel away, but mostly I’m a pretty pale guy. And I’m […]

As part of documenting my journey, and for your collective edification, I thought that I would give you all a sense of a pretty typical day for myself as a guest of the Bureau of Prisons. Friday May 31st, 2025 I had to wake up a bit earlier that usual this morning to get to […]

Yesterday, life here seemed so full of static. My favorite truth about this life we are living, is that we have a fresh beginning each new day. I began mine on the recreation yard in the middle of the field, all alone. As I sat still, clearing away the thoughts that tend to run through […]

Michael Santos-Prison Professors’ Concept Paper
My name is Mike. I’m not going to give my full name—at least not yet—because I’m still in the halfway house. The Bureau of Prisons released me earlier this May, after serving an 84-month sentence for a white-collar case. While inside, I had the chance to meet Michael Santos when he visited the prison camp. […]

Had an awesome CRHP men’s group tonight at Church. Really enjoying getting to know these brothers and growing together towards hosting the next retreat in November. Gosh, I pray that I am still free then in order to participate. The growth in my faith and relationships is such a blessing. It’s interesting to hear how […]

Today was a day that brought me back to my youth. In early July 1983, the people I loved (my mom, dad, and brothers) drove me from Hampton, VA to West Point, NY. After a long 8 hour drive, I was going to become a new cadet at the United States Military Academy. As you […]
