Michael G. Santos

My name is Michael Santos. I’ve been confined in federal prison since 1987 because of bad decisions I made to distribute cocaine. There were no weapons and there was no violence involved with my case, and it was my first offense. Nevertheless, after being convicted, my judge imposed a 45-year sentence.

With the support of my loving wife, Carole, and my family I’ll spend these last years of my prison term writing, publishing, and contributing to the national voice for prison reform.
