About

To learn more about my history and dedication to preparing for a law-abiding, contributing life upon release, I direct users to an archive of the website that my wife, Carole, maintained for me during the 25 years I served in prison.  Although I did not have access to the Internet, I wrote by hand every day to document my journey.  Carole converted those writings into a digital format and posted them at:

     www.Michaelsantos.net

I also wrote scores of articles that help people understand prisons, the people they hold, and strategies for growing through confinement.  Readers may review those archived writings at:

    www.prisonnewsblog.com

Those who have an interest may review the site to see how my disciplined and deliberate adjustment strategy opened opportunities that few would’ve thought possible for a man traversing a quarter century in prison.

I write regularly for the fabulous website Quora, where I describe various lessons I learned while traversing a quarter century in prison.  Readers may want to evaluate my level of expertise on the subject by reading my posts at:

Readers may also want to review my public Facebook page, where I’ve been documenting experiences since my release, on August 13, 2012.  Please “Like” my page at:
