Ok so my brother has been promoted to manager of the warehouse he works at. It’s basically 100% staffed by felons. After the first two days of working there and taking his cues from the other guys who worked there, he said the oldest and grimiest looking dude came up to him and they started talking and got along really well. The old guy was in jail back in the 80’s and got out and then bought this warehouse and basically leases it out to giant big box stores all over the country, like Wal*Mart and Target etc. Anyways he and my brother get along great and my bro is closer to him in age than all the 20-30 year olds so he basically told my bro “you work ten times harder than guys I’ve had here for 5 years, do you wanna run this poo poo?” So now he’s working 8-12 hours a day 5 days a week plus some nights, but he’s getting mad overtime and very happy to be out from our mom’s hair. His take on Social Media is pretty earnest. He Facebook friended all his old prison friends who got out, all his homies from Boston, and said his thank yous and sorries and caught up with some ladies. He doesn’t understand why dudes keep trying to friend him, so his friends list is like 90/10 chicks to dudes, so I think he’s catching on pretty quick. He doesn’t understand Twitter at all. For Christmas we’re getting a tree, I’m pushing the family towards a cheap fake one. My plan is to buy him a nice basketball. The holidays are weird because our dad died on NYE back in ‘98 so we’ve always used that as an excuse to irrationally intoxicates on Mew Years and go fullbore big girl tears... and holy hell can my brother drink. 2 years of prison hooch have made him basically immune to beer, so when the three of us brothers start to drink we get loving silly really fast. It’s gonna be a good holiday.

Honest question, sorry if its been answered, what convinced you to want to be around someone who killed someone else after not seeing them for 20 years, even if its your brother? I think I wouldve completely written off ever seeing them again a year into the sentence

He came and stayed with us a few times when I was small, and when I was 10 I went to go visit him in Boston and he treated me and my little brother like Kings, buying us toys and taking us to the circus and McDonald’s and all sorts of stuff. I was 12 when he got arrested, at 14 my mom drove herself and me down from NY to North Carolina to visit him because at that point he had no one left. I wrote him off and on for years but basically stopped after college except for Holidays because the stress and anxiety of knowing my flesh and blood was locked in a cage was extremely taxing for me and I couldn’t really write to him without crying and freaking out. I too was a criminal for years, not a particularly violent one, but enough that I could have easily ended up where he did. I had to sell drugs to help pay for college. The only real difference is that I had a loving mother who worked her hands to the bone to provide for her children, and his mother was a drunk bitch who beat her kids. It’s not his fault he lost the die roll and I won it. His entire family on her side is deep Irish Mob connections and his uncles were savage loving workhorses of the local gangs, and when my dad tried to take the baby they put him in the hospital. Life has to contain some modicum of forgiveness for our sins. If there is no room to come back from the edge of animalism, or brutality and fear, then society has been for nought. The goal is not to create perfect people, but to create a place where people can improve and defy their base instincts that dictate fight or flight. I will never be a great man, I might not ever be a “good person” deep down, but I can put time and energy into helping someone in my family, because it’s all we have, and it’s not like I could reasonably spend even more time in my room jacking off and playing video games than I do now, lol Lastly, I have a lot of military men on my mother’s side, I don’t really think killing someone is that big a deal. Like I said earlier, I don’t think the legality of your particular murder matters to much to the person getting shot, or really even the person pulling the trigger. Do you wanna live? Ok then you gotta kill that guy or you don’t ever get to go home and see your family again. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the jungle of Vietnam or the jungle of South Boston.

Firstly, “I don’t think killing someone is that big a deal” is some big time  talk but I can understand how people could get that waySecondly, I guess to follow up, did you ever doubt or wonder if your brother was being truthful when he said it was in self defense, and do you know the full story? Was it literally “a guy came to his place with a gun” or more like “he said he was gonna kill me so I went and killed him first”?

Yeah I mean I don’t want to give a twisted perception and neither does my brother want you guys to get a weird idea. My brother 20 years ago: a savage and violent danger to society who absolutely belonged in prison My brother today: a very motivated goofball who just wants to be able to live his life and work hard and stay out of trouble because life in prison is complete hell on Earth. Whether or not you believe that the former can become the latter depends on your ability to believe in people’s individual capacity for change. I never wanted to give the impression that he was like “mistakenly” placed in maximum security, but the empathetic and caring person that I have today is not the person who was locked up. I’m sorry I don’t mean to be glib about death. Our dad died when I was 10, and I’ve lost a lot of friend to overdose over the years. Like I said my mother’s side is a lot of military guys, and I’m very close to some veterans and hang out with them all the time. Sometimes they need to vent and they tell me about their combat experiences and how hosed up it is. I’m not saying I am like pro-murder or anything crazy like that, I’m just saying I don’t think “having killed someone” is something that overwrites your humanity, it’s just a part of your past that you have to make peace with and doesn’t really have to concern me.

Whether or not someone thinks an individual is capable of fundamental change or whether or not you think this individual is capable of fundamental change is sort of irrelevant, because the reality is that most people in prison are not intended to be there forever, they have a defined sentence after which they are released. Therefore, it benefits society in general to assume that the individual is capable of change and has been given the opportunity to do so and to allow them the tools to implement that change in their behavior by becoming a functioning and contributing member of society. "Oh no he did a murder and is out of prison, better treat them like they're going to murder people at any given moment" is not only making some pretty crappy assumptions about them, but is also denying them the capability to become a functioning member of society. Like sure, I get it, you don't want to be murdered. That's not exactly a controversial opinion. Wouldn't it make more sense, then, to be really happy that they're in a very solid family situation, with a good job, good social support, and an earnest desire to not be a jerk? The pearl-clutching and 'you are an idiot for helping your brother' posts are just short-sighted, heartless, and dumb. I'm really happy you have the ability and desire to help your brother adjust to life on the outside, and if I were in his shoes, I'd be too thankful for words.  You're doing an excellent thing, duder 💜

Let's not say things we can't take back here now - I would argue that Bust Rodd's brother was not rehabilitated by the prison system. Instead, I would say that his brother chose to become a better person in spite of the system. Feel free to correct me here, of course, but I think this is one of those cases where you "don't gotta hand it to them". "Them", in this instance, is the US prison system. I don't in any way mean to diminish his brother - in fact, quite the opposite in fact.

Lol OP I spent a weekend in jail once and all these dudes who were only there for court before heading back to the joint were talking about cooking up rice bowls and I wondered how they were able to do that ever since. Obviously people in county are talking poo poo 95% of the time, but do people still do fishing through the drains and poo poo with the weird pens? This thread was an interesting read hope your bro keeps doing well.

Whats your brothers opinion/attitude towards LGBTQ+ people? You say he was locked up for 20 years. So 99 or 2000 ish he went in. Back then it was still fairly acceptable to use various derogatory terms in reference to them. Since then of course, society has become a lot more accepting of the various LGBTQ+ people. In some ways I feel like with people coming and going from prison, the attitudes probably evolved somewhat parallel (but maybe a few years behind the outside world) in that respect, but in other ways I feel like maybe it hasn't evolved that much since in prison everyone might feel as though they have to continually prove their manliness and a dude who is gay might be seen by some as less manly even though he might be able to kick some serious rear end in a fight. Comedy question if he went in, in '99: Were all the inmates hoping that when Y2K struck that all the prison computers would malfunction and automatic locks and doors would open up and there'd be a mass exodus of inmates?
