Good morning everyone, Life throws us unexpected curve balls, sometimes we catch them and sometimes we do not. No worries, give yourself a second chance. The world economy is still scrambling to recover after COVID, nothing seems to be the same as before. When you have been in prison during COVID, the impact may have […]

Measuring Success from the Inside Success, in here, has to be defined differently. It’s not about the cars, the deals, or the status anymore. That stuff evaporated the moment I walked through these gates. I don’t get to measure my worth by what’s in my account or how fast I can close something. Now, it’s […]
Krishna P.-05/01/2025-I’m Going to Prison in One Day
It’s the night before I surrender, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. I’ve spent the last few months preparing—legally, emotionally, mentally—but there’s no real way to prepare for this. I’ve read the books, listened to the advice, talked to consultants from Prison Professors and White Collar Advice. They’ve been invaluable, honestly. […]
Michael Santos-Tell us Your Story
Struggles, challenges, and crises are inevitable parts of life. We all face them in one form or another. For me, my greatest challenge stemmed from a terrible decision I made at the age of 20—I sold cocaine. That choice led to federal charges, solitary confinement, and a lengthy judicial process. Ultimately, I was sentenced to […]

We had an early morning educational session scheduled before his new chemo treatments begins. Normally, the clinic parking lot is packed and hectic. But today, it was surprisingly calm. One of the nurses […]

Another has gone by and I am excited about what comes next. I have certain concerns about what I will do once I am back in society. I do not worry about me wanting to go back to the lifestyle I once lived. That is all out of my heart and mind. I don’t even […]
Michael Santos-Build a Mitigation Strategy
When DEA agents arrested me, I learned that prosecutors had charged me with offenses carrying the potential of a life sentence. If convicted, I would face a mandatory minimum of ten years in prison—the lowest sentence that the judge could impose. Lacking an understanding of the system, I didn’t consider a mitigation strategy. I made […]

Tuesday, April 29, 2025 today, and it is also our commissary day. Rivero has been in pain for the last few days; he said he was not getting up to go to commissary. I hate that he is in this condition; I want to do more, but in this situation I cannot do much but […]
