Letter to the Editor or Editorial Submission – So Much Ink, So Much Blood – 9/10/18  kra At least twice a month I see an article or an editorial calling for “the” way to end the crazy, deadly shootings on city streets. The latest piece called for the clergy to become more involved in high crime areas. Before that it was “revive the street crimes unit” of the police department. And before that it was calls for...

I have been fortunate to have been quite successful in all of my chosen professions… law, teaching, business broker, entrepreneur, and mentor to many.  Learned a lot, made some mistakes … such is life. I list here some suggestions which are not merely “feel good” slogans or platitudes, but which actually can help most people succeed … if they keep them in mind. Know what you are doing.

That doesn’t surprise me because although I deal with inmates’ families every day, the federal prisoners...

This is an interesting report on all states by The Cato Institute. Of most interest to me, of course, are the criminal justice issues.
