What a whacked out prison that was. Would love a follow up on that interview to hear what happened to that place.

Of course it was alwyas different for me, being a immature white suburban boy, (now a 6'3" somewhat of a 24 year old man,) who couldn't do 1/10th of what his mind could do on the court, I always feel bad for young guys growing up without knowing right and wrong and being in less than ideal situation. Long story short, I was wondering what you think needs to be done to limit the amount of stories, lives, that start with promiss and end in your stories? Or maybe people now find enough value with those who are athletic and limit the amount of atheletes to slip between the cracks. Any insight you have I would love to hear. Mr. Ferranti,

We get it, prison ball is rough! That dude Purple, his info. was good. But your articles Seth, c'mon man, be more original. Based on the last 5 articles of yours that I read, prison ball is rough. Oh really? I never would have guessed. You're a talented writer who needs to add a little something called "creativity" to your articles.
