To All Readers – Explanation & Clarification
I have received some valuable input concerning the length of some (I’ll keep it real – MOST) of the posts. I couldn’t agree more in the fact that it’s better to post less, more often. I’ve posted 6 of the entire 7-challenges on the Bad Boy Mike’s 2nd Chances Project – Do The Work group. We’ve just posted the 7th challenge, and it’s EXTREMELY long!
I don’t want anyone thinking I’m not taking heed to their advice. This is the longest post I’ve ever done–and the last one of this length. It was necessary to make the actual project, in its entirety, available to read. I have limited opportunities to get to a JPay kiosk to send emails out and I’m dependent on the help of others to post them. It’s quite an adventure to get one of these posts up for you to read.
I remember the days when I could simply put an email or a text together and send it. I never once considered the time or effort people put into creating the content they send electronically. Just keep in mind, I have a lot to say and limited opportunities to say it. Once it’s said, I have to schedule time with others to actually post it. The average length of time to get one single post up is about 10 days – 2 weeks! I’m NOT complaining, just explaining! I always say, “if you don’t like something about prison, don’t come here!”
Since the inception of this project, I’ve spread out over two different platforms. The content on both is currently an exact copy of a slightly different version of, or reads a little different (due to editing challenges) than the other. My current focus is to have each platform better serve their individual goals. I’m working hard to improve the experiences on both. I’ve added a third group project that supports self-rehabilitation efforts, check it out too. I don’t want to lose support because of repetition or confusion!
Below are the platforms, purpose, and web addresses. I hope you will continue to support the efforts of each one individually. Moving forward there will be different content on each one, so don’t miss out by focusing on just one. If you have a favorite and just stick to that, I thank you all the same!
www.badboymikesblog.com – Create an account, sign in, and follow my blog or leave a comment. This platform will house everything, especially the longer content. It will dive deep into the mindset of many problems and solutions faced by anyone inside prison or out. Look forward to reading less, but more often. More about daily prison life too. You need to visit the actual website for yourself to see all it offers. Having never seen it myself, it’s kind of hard for me to explain. This is our founding project, and I’m extremely grateful for this platform. Thanks Dad!

This platform will target the actions being taken to implement the self-rehabilitation project and to improve communications with its followers. It will include mental health topics as well as navigating those challenges. Anything goes here, so you never know what might pop up! We will also post short “blog style” content about daily prison life as well. We also follow other like-minded people, projects and organizations. Thanks Chase!
Bad Boy Mike’s 2nd Chances Project – Do The Work Facebook group–join this group. This platform will be what the actual project runs on once approval is granted by the institution. It’s also used to bring awareness to the effort being made, and to gather support for implementation. Thanks Mom!
Any notifications like this will always be posted to each platform’s web address. I will continue to put in the work to make these Bad Boy Mike’s platforms the best I possibly can for you to read, support and engage in. Thanks for the input–and keep the comments coming!
