As a fellow felon here, I was lucky enough to get pardoned by the great state of Louisiana earlier this year and currently I am working on getting everything expunged. Louisiana locks up more people per capita then anywhere else in the world and I know the hardest part for me once I got out was dealing with the probation along with the 10 year waiting period that follows once you completed probation/parole. I did 3 years followed by 5 more years of probation. That 10 year waiting period that follows is setting people up to fail, what are some things you think probation and parole can do so people like us actually have a chance of succeeding once we get released?

Sorry if I'm ranting but for example, a good buddy of mine did 4 1/2 years on a 9 year sentence. Once he got released he scored a solid job working construction. This job was in New Orleans but his parole officer was about an hour away. His officer would tell him to come in to take a piss test at 4:30 PM but this fucker knew he was working a 9-5 job with 40 hour weeks. After this same situation went on for a week, his parole officer revoked his probation for being 45 minutes late each time to piss. Must be noted that my friend pissed cleaned every single time. The system wants us to join back into society and work like everyone else but if finding a decent job wasn't hard enough, they go and lock you rite back up once you do start to better yourself.

Man no bullshit, just checked my mail and my lawyer sent me a copy of my certified expungement that was just signed off by the judge. http://imgur.com/FhSrtC9

What's your interpretation of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey film?

Favorite submarine movie?

Hey Mike,

I worked with you on When the Game Stands Tall a few years ago. I'm from New Orleans but what's your favorite thing about the city? I'm sure you don't miss that brutal heat we filmed in over that summer.
