Brutal Gang Murder in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Jail

Warning, the video contains graphic scenes of violence. It shows an Aryan Brother murdering another inmate who refused to beat someone up for the gang he was trying to leave. All this happened in the jail I served time in as featured on Banged-Up Abroad and in my book Hard Time.

Banged-Up Abroad World Premiere

The worldwide broadcast of my Banged-Up Abroad episode commenced this week to tens of millions of people in 40 countries. Since Monday, I’ve received thousands of messages from people as far away as Vietnam, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. I’ve halted all writing to respond to the deluge. I’m getting a lot of positive feedback and questions on twitter here:

Off Line

 Heading to the Adirondacks tonight. Lakes and mountains and time with family and friends. Fishing and hiking and watersports of all kinds.

 No posts until I return....if anyone is paying attention.

Floating on Lower Saranac Lake with rods and reels

 So until then I will be sitting here on vintage wicker enjoying a rum and tonic after a day of fishing or waterskiing or canoeing.

We will jump of the rocks. Have lunch on an island.

 Spend time with my crew.

Sit in the boathouse and read or play chess.

 Piloting the boat for skiing and tubing and hearing one of my favorite sounds: the laughter of my kids.
My desk is cleared. I am off....carry on.

Busted

It was announced today that Revel Casino in Atlantic City is closing their poker room. This over-leveraged, over-done casino has been circling the drain for years and has been in and out of Bankruptcy. Currently they are floundering around trying to draw gamblers and beach-goers and failing miserably on all counts.A casino without poker is like a movie theater without popcorn...just sad.
