BIO
Personal Profile

In 2004, after years of shooting dope and spending short stints in jail, I wound up in the largest walled prison on Earth, a dungeon in Jackson, Michigan. Thirteen months later I violated my parole and headed back for a DUI. But once I got some traction, I started the project that would eventually become the podcast, and the book.
