Saturday, October 11, 2014 I now have completed six full lessons for Prison Professor. Today I wrote about the Bureau of Prisons staff hierarchy and about the administrative process. This week I wrote more than 20,000 words on the subject. To provide some perspective, to print 20,000 words would require about 100 pages. The […]
Release From Prison Journal: Day 424
Friday, October 10, 2014 Today I learned the Orange County office of Education has expanded its relationship with our foundation. We’ve sold several license agreements for our Straight-A Guide to Orange County, and today we learned that another institution will use our products.

Release From Prison Journal: Day 423
Thursday, October 9, 2014 The stock market got slammed today. Fortunately, I’m holding a position in Apple, and that was the one shining star in the Nasdaq. I went long on Apple last week, and I am holding shares with an entry level of $99.39. Early this morning, I read that Carl Icahn, one […]
Release From Prison Journal: Day 422
Wednesday, October 8, 2014 Responsibilities at work required that I take my attention off of Prison Professor. Sometimes I feel as if I’m working three full-time jobs. I have so much work that I’m not able to run every day, as I like. I’m still ahead of schedule with regard to my running log, […]
Release From Prison Journal: Day 421
Tuesday, October 7, 2014 I wrote another lesson for the Prison Professor initiative I’m launching. In today’s lesson I wrote about Prison Classification Systems. I suspect that professional-type individuals who’ve been convicted of a federal crime will become the most active clients of Prison Professor. They may assume that since they don’t have any […]
Release From Prison Journal: Day 420
Monday, October 6, 2014 Today I had another great day of writing. The lesson I wrote for Prison Professor concerned sentence-mitigation strategies. I’m convinced that individuals who face troubles with the criminal justice system can take some affirmative steps to prepare. Before it’s too late, they should prepare a coherent plan to guide them […]

Sunday, October 5, 2014 A productive day of writing resulted in a lesson plan of more than 5,000 words. This lesson teaches individuals what they should know about the Presentence Investigation. Individuals who are encountering the criminal justice for the first day may not know the significance of Presentence Investigation and the report that […]

Saturday, October 4, 2014 Today I took more affirmative steps to write the program for Prison Professor. In the weeks to come, I intend to make significant progress toward advancing this initiative. I now have an outline to follow, and I have more than 30 individual lessons to write. I suspect each lesson will […]

Friday, October 3, 2014 Yesterday I resumed work on the Prison Professor project. My friend Justin Paperny and have partnered on ventures in the past, and he will become my partner with Prison Professor. Today I began writing content that will guide visitors to the site through their first exercise. Basically, I want to […]
Release From Prison Journal: Day 416
Thursday, October 2, 2014 Today we took another step closer toward completing my obligation to the criminal justice system. We don’t know what type of outcome we’ll have. All we know is that we’ve put the decision in the hands of the US Parole Commission by filing a formal request for early termination of […]
