Peter J Haslinger-06/02/2025-Still Pushing Forward
It has been quite awhile since i made a journal entry. So much has been going on that i have let myself slowly fade away from making entries into the journal. It is no excuse that since i work a fulltime job here at UNICOR that i can not at least get on here once […]
Thomas Jefferson Williams Jr-06/02/2025
I am feeling very optimistic today and in past days about the direction of the legal system. I have been working hard to create change and success for myself upon my release from prison. I have been tracking the market through Wall Street Journal and Cnbc money. With that observation I have been helping my […]

Good Day. I pray this finds all you blessed. I recently read Alice Marie Johnson’s book titled “After Life.”I was able to relate to so much that she endured. So much so that it brought tears to my eyes many times. The delays and denials. The struggles. Not seeing family for many years. Alice Johnson […]
Scott Kaveny-Friday, December 27, 2024 – Day 7 of Family Christmas Vacation – No Boundaries
Written approx. 2:15 am on December 28, 2024 I can feel myself get more quiet and it’s harder to speak up. Quiet is good because I want to continue gray-rocking, but the effort to speak up is being muffled or stifled due to my fatigue, enmeshment, and a feeling of shutting down. I can sense myself getting […]
Michael Santos-Going Back to Prison
When people serve time in prison, they look forward to getting out. Unfortunately, as high recidivism rates show, many people who get out once return to serve a new sentence. They don’t even have to commit another crime. They can return for a technical violation of the terms of their release. To illustrate, I’ll share […]

Today I spent a lot of time drafting ideas for the current US Attorney General, POTUS and other elected officials to improve the justice system. I am also hoping you will share these ideas as well with others whom you see fit that would help us. 1. The BOP has expressed and proven in many […]

The way you used the word onus leads me to believe it means something like personal responsibility. That would be my first guess. Although I will look it up later to see for sure. I know how I can earn academic credentials in prison. Although they make it extremely difficult to do so. I am […]
Michael Santos-The Advantage
I received an invitation to participate in a graduation ceremony at the Folsom State Prison, in California. I looked forward to the meeting and wanted to encourage the people in the audience to make a commitment to lifelong learning. By reading, I explained, anyone could develop new skills that would open more opportunities for success […]
Michael Santos-Rebuilding after Prison
I spoke with Michael yesterday. He is rebuilding his life after serving three years in a minimum-security federal camp. He reached out for a conversation, and I asked him permission to record so that others could learn from what we discussed. A Background of Lessons Learned During our call, Michael expressed some of the […]
Michael Santos-Our Mission
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. He told the […]
