Federal Prison Was Wasted Time—Until I Embraced This Advice

About this episode

Don't Just Say You're Sorry—Show It

Saying "I'm sorry" won't carry much weight with a judge. What does? Proof. Michael told me: create an asset. Write a book. Draft a reentry plan. Start a blog. I wrote a letter to my judge from prison—and that changed everything. These assets show effort. They give judges, case managers, and probation officers something real to read and consider. But here's the catch: it takes work. Most wait until it's too late. If you're not documenting who you are now, you'll lose the chance to show it later.
