March 31, 2010 I’ve been writing quarterly reports to update those who follow my work for more than 20 years. Since 2003, when Carole launched MichaelSantos.net, we’ve published the quarterly reports on the Web site. I hope that readers find them useful as a source of documentation. The reports should reflect how an individual can [...]
Dear Family and Friends: I’ve recently completed my nineteenth consecutive Christmas season in prison. I am grateful to report that I remain blessed with considerable support from so many. Thank you for expressing that support through your letters and postings on www.MichaelSantos.net. As my release date currently stands, I am scheduled to pass seven more [...]
Dear Family and Friends: Three months have passed since I arrived at the Lompoc Federal Prison Camp. Those who are accustomed to reading my work know that I generally make an easy adjustment to the prisons where I have been held. I cannot say that my initial quarter in Lompoc has passed as well. The [...]
Dear Family and Friends: It is just after seven on 14 July as I type this second quarter report for the year 2005. I am a bit late in recording the events of this quarter, but not without good reason. On 8 June administrators at the Federal Prison Camp in Florence ordered me to segregated [...]

Dear Family and Friends: It’s now February 5, and I’ve just completed my second month here at the minimum-security camp in Florence. It has taken nearly that long for me to settle. Now, however, I’m finding myself well adjusted and eager to continue my progress as I complete these last nine years of my imprisonment. [...]
Dear Family and Friends: The fourth quarter of 2003 began for me inside the fences of Fort Dix. I was working on a proposal and the first three sample chapters for a new book which I tentatively am calling Living In Prison: The Vicious Circle. This book will portray prison more graphically than my other [...]
