I am the one who hired Preston. Whatever he has done in the past, I have all the evidence in the world in front of me to assure me that he has a transformed heart. It is not a common thing to see, but here the fruits are clear. We are happy to have him with us.

what if prison ends up becoming the most distraction-free dev environment. no meetings, no slack pings, no linkedin recruiters, just you, a terminal, and 10 years of uninterrupted focus. kinda terrifying how productive that sounds
No pings, just people who may decide to shiv or rape you

It's not that wild to notice the connection between drug use and domestic abuse.
However, on any individual case the same is not true, because that moves from talking about averages and general cases into specifics, and the burden of proof changes significantly.

I am the Turso CEO. We pay him a full salary, just not health care benefits.
Your doing the Lord's work. Even if you just paid him the state minimum wage, it would stop him from having a giant employment gap. The next step would be background check reform.

I had an experience with a co worker who would brag about robbing people…
Or maybe they do understand. This kind of politics ensures the privileged stay privileged.
On a serious note, I think inmates should have 24/7 laptop computer access with (at least) limited sessions of internet connectivity.
