I found myself wondering specifically about this line: "Omar introduced me to several of his friends, mostly doctors and highly educated scientists." I suppose this could be a facility specifically for white collar criminals, but it did also occur to me what a depressing state it is that any prison has an entire "crew" of people with MDs and PhDs....

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄 I hope you all are enjoying the holiday with family and friends. Below is a letter written by Samourai Wallet developer Keonne Rodriguez after his first week in prison, where he will stay for the next 5 years for writing freedom code. Today I am grateful for my freedom, and am taking a moment to remember those who have had theirs taken away. We managed to get Ross out, even though it took so many years… it could easily be one of us in that jail cell, away from our families, for some trumped up charge… if you have a spare moment today and want to contribute to #freesamourai please read the below letter and sign the petition for his release… Merry Christmas 🎄 God bless you all!

Well sure, a "smart guy" who 100% doesn't deserve to see the inside of a jail cell.... I guess what I'm wondering is, is that the same for all the other MD's and PhD's that, apparently, are incarcerated at such a density that they can actually form a "friend group" in the joint? Do we really have that many "evil geniuses" in our society, or is this yet another indictment of the American Carceral State that so many people of this intellectual caliber are locked up?

Obviously I don’t know but I would bet a lot of them are in for fraud of one type or another. Which is a legit crime unlike keonne who I agree is innocent

Thanks for sharing Matt… that was a tough read Looking for some ray of light it’s a relief to hear so far his fellow inmates are seemingly civilised and there’s a sense of camaraderie

I wonder, since they’re not on bail anymore, if we can send them ₿ directly as a donation now…?

Tougher with the knowledge that he’s. not the first person to face the injustice system, he’s just one with an audience. This is plenty of people’s stories every single day in America.
