I am blessed with another day and I am grateful for it. I must learn each day to apply the things that I have been learning. I have heard it be said a mistake is only a mistake if you learn from it. Well I want and need to learn from all my errors because […]

Journal 5/17/25 I found out last night that the library changed its hours. It is no longer open on Wednesday afternoon, evenings or on Sundays. If inmates are being put in prison for punishment & rehabilitation, the US federal system is long on the former and extremely short on the latter. Here are some suggestions […]

Michael Santos-The Black Swan

It’s never too early and never too late to start preparing for a better life. I got this message after a jury convicted me, but before a judge sentenced me to serve 45 years in federal prison. My name is Michael Santos. I’d like others to consider the importance of preparing for success at the […]

It is a great feeling to know you have planted seeds. I know that I will not see if they grow or not but at least I did my part to show these young guys just how much better life is if they stay out of this place. I do not hit them over the […]

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been deep in the trenches with my legal team, working on rebuttals, reviewing trial testimony, and piecing together the actual facts of my case. After reading through the proffer sessions, court filings, and ongoing developments in related crypto and money transmission cases, I’m more certain than ever that this […]

Scott Kaveny-Monday, November 4, 2024 – Last Attempt with Family Therapy

Today has been relatively productive.  I would have to say the last few days have been slow, but I did get permission from the court to travel for Christmas to Florida.  However, I don’t have the same excitement that I did before.  As a more aware version of myself now, I am more cautious and […]

Scott Kaveny-Thursday, October 31, 2024 – My Definition of God’s Will

I am feeling a lot better than the days before.  A lot of disorientation about my feelings of disillusionment of my childhood.  But I realize now my parents did the best they could.  It’s okay it ended up the way it did. I was able to finish up reading my anger letters with my therapists […]
