Addendum 20081012. Santos is a convicted drug dealer who has set out to rehabilitate himself within a prison system which is uninterested in rehabilitation. Being radically libertarian about the Drug War doesn't mean I admire drug dealers. Nevertheless, I believe in rehabilitation and wish Santos well with his extraordinary efforts. However, this gives me pause:
"Inside" could earn Santos a lot of money, but federal law prohibits him from profiting off his crimes. He has gotten around the rule by giving the manuscript to sister Julie, who now owns it. If she chooses to set aside the proceeds for her brother for when he is released, that's her prerogative.That may be her prerogative, but will the government agree that it's his prerogative to accept the money?
