I once burglarized a home & stole a safe. I cracked the safe & discovered photos of the owner molesting a child. He reported the burglary to police. I turned the photos in. The cops called him in to discuss the burglary. He confessed. We both went to prison.

While I was in prison, I was the food procurement clerk. It was my job to work with the first cook to design the daily food menu (a 6-week cycle) and then make sure the men were fed on a budget of $2.60 per person per day. The Best Xmas prison meal, a thread...

For the first two weeks of December, IBEW Local 6 (San Francisco) will be accepting applications for the inside wireman apprenticeship program. Journeyman wage is currently $91.25/hr plus benefits. This apprenticeship changed my life. Folks with felonies are welcome to apply.

I’m so old that I can remember when America had presidents and attorneys general who didn’t have mugshots.

I said it 8 years ago and I’ll say it again today: We are living in a Philip K. Dick novel.

The purely pejorative nature of the word ‘felon’ has unveiled itself completely in the past few days. My “allies” scornfully call Trump felon. My Pro-Trump detractors call me felon. No ironies lost.

When I stand up for other felons, I often get the line: “But, Matt, you’re not like all the other ones. You know this.” No, tell me about the “other ones”. What do you really mean?

Ordered myself a new fridge this morning because I don’t feel like paying $1000 more for it in 6 months.

A friend of mine who I thought had a good heart voted for Trump. I messaged him about it, asking how he could vote for a rapist when he’s got little girls. “At least I didn’t vote for a whore”. I was taken aback. There’s a lot of stuff hiding in people we think we know.

And, since it keeps coming up elsewhere, he’s a person of color. Not a white man.

I replied with, “Given the language you’re using, I guess the vote fits”.

He had started going to college. He didn’t seem to party any longer. He was trying to focus on raising his kids. Sometime in the last year, he found God. And, since finding God, he also found Trump.
