Who really knows what goes on behind our prison walls? 

A Short Introduction to Kevin King: On May 17th, 2023, Kevin was asked to speak to the Oakland County Bar Association (OCBA), about being incarcerated within the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC), for almost 41 years. How, he was released from custody with a Life Without Parole Sentence and about our prison system from an inside perspective, and the cultural shock of being reintegrated back into society. A special thanks was offered to all those instrumental in his release.

Finally got the time to catch up with Mitch Smiley of Hard Intentions.  As you might know I interviewed Mitch last year.  Mitch has a fascinating story.  He spent 38 straight years in prison.  He is now out and thriving. An accomplished artist and tattooist as well, he brings a special light and wisdom to the table.  This was more of a conversation between two people!
Enjoy it.  I find him engaging and 100% real.  Stay well all! PEACE
