The Road Less Traveled

This episode is themed around "time" and how little of it we seem to have (or too much, if you happen to be incarcerated). Happy Holiday's guys, stay safe out there. Thank you for listening. -db

As we near the end of 2024 I reflect on the state of the world and how crazy it can be for anyone who's gone to prison to reintergrate back into a rapidly changing world. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. - db

This episode is an apology to myself to do better, to not make excuses, to do the work, to get it done, to keep going, to be transparent, to be honest with myself, and to never give up. Thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
 

On this episode I explain what the process of applying for house arrest is like from an inmate's perspective, bring up a few points of casual injustice, and also get into it with my cat. As always, thank you for listening. -db

On this episode I discuss what experience was like with the parole board. I realized about halfway through recording this episode that I had been doing fantastic going in chronological order for this podcast on recounting my experiences in prison... only to mess up on this episode. I totally forgot to explain about my transition from the halfway house to house arrest, what that whole nightmare process is like, etc. Rather than waste the episode, I'm going to backfill the experience with one or two episodes. As always, thank you for listening. -db

On this week's episode I talk about my time working at a restaurant while I was incarcerated. Did you know there's work release program's for felon's? They may be working among you right now... It's not as scary as you think. It's unfortunately not as good willed as you may think since business's receive a tax incentive for employing felons and specifically the restaurant I worked at went so far as to exploit us. Wonderful experience. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

My favorite episode thus far. I go on a minor tangent in the beginning about AI (sorry, but I have fun rambling) and find a way to make it all connect. This episode is about the work release program at the minimum security facility that I was housed at; the in's and out's of the program; the humbling process of interviewing and explaining where I am and what I've done; and the scary, emotional journey that is trying to reintegrate into society. Thank you for listening. -db
 

Right now my life is in a transitional state where I'm looking for a new job, taking stock of my time during prison by going through old paperwork and files, and figuring everything out. This episode is a meandering hope for clarity. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
