Michael Santos-Architect Your Outcomes
Anyone going into a crisis or difficult situation should start thinking about steps they can take today that will lead to a better outcome. I had to learn those lessons at the start of my journey, and I like to share the different ways that they helped me along the way, at later stages of […]

Back in Casa Grande for a shorter haul today — no overnight. The body’s tired but holding up. After the last few intense nights, today felt like a decompress-and-regroup kind of day. We wrapped up, then all drove back after a short rest period. Being behind the wheel with the sun coming up, rolling through […]

This is my first public journal entry. I have been faithfully journaling for the entire three years I have been incarcerated, this time, but only privately. Yes, this not my first incarceration.

Justin Norcutt-Don’t Get Lost in the System – A Lesson From My Own Release
Coming home from prison is supposed to be the light at the end of the tunnel, but for many of us, that light can turn into a confusing maze if we’re not proactive. I was released in November 2022, but what should’ve been a time of renewal was quickly clouded by miscommunication, paperwork delays, and […]

Yesterday morning I got back to reading and taking notes on what I learned. I’ve been doing this for about a year now but I stopped when I was transferred here to Lompoc. It slows down the reading for me a little bit because I take the notes as I read but I feel like […]
