I was browsing through SA's comedy goldmine when I came across this gem of a story. It reminds me of Shawshank Redemption, and it is written excellently. It would make for a fabulous movie.

It's only a few months old. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did.

That was a great find and a great read (the only other good read I can think of at the moment is the Eve Online scam), thanks Meta.

It makes me feel so many emotions I don't know how to describe it. Thanks for the read.

Saw it a while ago, it was a good read

There are many other great reads if you follow GBS.
Despite some people thinking GBS is a bunch of attention whores circle jerking themselves, a lot of great reads do come out of it.

That was a great story...the guy comments on his lack of writing skills...but I thought the style and his descriptions of events and details of his stories were great...the story was easy to follow along and its just great...excellent find.

That was a great read, very Shawshank (except for the whole getting caught part).

This story drudges up memories of a high school buddy who always got locked up. There a quite a few similarities between his stories and this guy's from SA. I'm convinced that the story is authentic.
