Impressive read, seems fairly true to me.

Great, entertaining, elaborate flame, but it's really hard to reconcile those language points in context. I suppose the Australian time abroad will be the counter argument. But I'm skeptical.

EDIT: Upon further reflection, the general lack of mention of hispanics makes this seem more like a European caricature of the American prison system, too.

american prison != american prisoner <_<..


I'm fairly sure that it somewhere states that he lived in Australia for a long period of time. I read this a long time ago, so I don't remember where though.

EDIT: I think he started going to college there? I'm not sure, someone back me up or call bullshit.

Without doubt some of the best stuff I have read ever. This is one of those things I will keep and show my children and grandchildren.

I can't believe I missed this before, it was an awesome read. And yeah, he went to school in Australia, mentioned how it was close to the beach.

Good read, thank you to the guy who bumped this one.

So, a question: Has anyone read any "edgey" Biographies lately that are this good? I don't care if this is fake or not, I want to read a 400+ page book as good as this 6 page equivalent.

Truly an eye-opener.
Shows how bad things really can get.

Also goes to how unlikely it is that any creature in existence can out-do us humans in cruelty.

The discussions about whether the story is real or not is almost as interesting as the story itself. It's a fascinating read though, no matter if fake or real.

Crazy story :/. The worst thing about going to prison, is that the crime you commit will follow you for the rest of your life. You're basically going from Especially armed robbery, there's no chance they'd let him near even just a lowly register job.

Anyways, by now hopefully he's gotten out of the country.

Sounds like I never want to jail. But I know the feeling that you want to test yourself by wanting something serious to happen (a loved one die, a suicide in front of you, something like that).
Then he said that you should be happy with the little things, don't think I'll be able to, but I do know I don't ever want to go to prison (However, prison in the Netherlands is probably less bad).

Its a sad life when you are locked up. The saddest part about all of this is that prison is just the vacation before the real sentence begins.

I stand by the logic that if you do the crime you do the time.

The problem that is faced though is that once you do commit the crime you will pay for the rest of your life. I have been unemployed for almost 2 years now. I can not find a job. I have gotten to the point of being hired till the background check comes back. I am not applying to run the country or to take care of your money. I mean EVERYWHERE does background checks now. I mea the internet makes it that a measly $10 can find all the information on someone. Why not do it?

To top it off some places even do checks before you move into places and can deny you no matter the charge.

It is almost like they want you to go back for fear of losing their jobs or something. idk

I guess its way of America imposing a Death sentence without actually killing the person. Its a fate worse then death for its a long painful very slow death.

I guess I should have never done the crime to start with but sometimes you do not see the scope of what you really are doing and how you will really have to pay for these crimes.

I do not feel anyone is innocent, there are just the ones that got caught and those that did not.
