Show Notes

When Ryan Rice was growing up in Illinois, his parents let him do anything he wanted. Spoiled might be the word that comes to mind. The “freedom” he was granted as a young child ultimately sculpted him into a man with no direction, quitting most of the things he set his mind to…until, that is, he was sentenced to 35 years in a Dixon, Illinois prison. That’s when things had to change. Tired of “going nowhere fast,” Rice, a prison pen pal and member of PenPals.Buzz, shares why he made an “executive decision” about his life, and what that decision was. In the interview, we also discuss his over 60 tattoos, his love of women with accents, his propensity for telling corny dad jokes, and what he’s seeking in a pen pal.
