Show Notes

Everywhere you go, everywhere you look, you'll see and hear people asserting that all inmates are scum, that inmates deserve to rot and die in prison. Big Steve disagrees, reasoning that with 2.3 million incarcerated men and women in America, it's impossible to put them all into a tiny little box labeled "SCUM". While some inmates (like the ones depicted in movies) have committed heinous crimes and may be where they need to be, our mission is to share with the world some more uplifting stories of prison inmates. Redemption is possible. Thousands, just like our guest on this week's episode, have worked tirelessly to change their lives for the better. When we interview Daniel Morris, you won't hear Hannibal Lecter. You won't hear Charles Manson. You'll hear a human being who admits he made some terrible choices in life, but who has worked unbelievably hard to improve himself both mentally and physically. You'll meet a guy who loves the stock market, loves octopuses, loves his daughter, and has put in the effort, each and every day, to improve himself both mentally and physically. PenPals.Buzz member Daniel Dean Morris II discusses the book series that he authored from prison, the motorcycle he built while incarcerated, and even shares his opinions on prison pen pals, JPay, and Securus. We hope that after listening to this interview, you'll feel inclined to write him a letter and say hi. He is an inmate, but he's also a human being.
