Those struggling with the complications of criminal charges should consult with competent criminal defense attorneys. Yet they should also learn from others who have been moving through this system. My name is Michael G. Santos, and I am a long-term prisoner. I have been incarcerated since 1987, and I offer these articles with hopes of helping others make better decisions. I am now in my third decade of continuous confinement. Those who want to learn more about my specific case may consult MichaelSantos.net, a Web site that focuses on my journey through the federal prison system. What readers of PrisonAdvice.com should know is that my experiences have brought me through prisons of every security level, from high security penitentiaries to minimum-security prison camps. Those prisons include USP Atlanta, FCI McKean, FCI Fairton, FCI Fort Dix, Florence Prison Camp, Lompoc Prison Camp, and Taft Prison Camp, where I am currently confined. During my imprisonment I have worked hard and consistently to reconcile with society. I spent my first decade working to educate myself. In 1992, Mercer University awarded my undergraduate degree, and in 1995, Hofstra University awarded me a master’s degree. Besides my educational credentials, I have authored six books that publishers have brought to market since my imprisonment began. Because I have served my entire adult life in prison, and because I have achieved significant accomplishments while inside, I am well qualified to help others grasp the complexities of a struggle through the criminal justice system. As an effort to contribute to society, I offer these articles with hopes of helping others understand the American prison system, the people it holds, and strategies for growing through confinement. |
