How I ended up in prison. The second time. https://t.co/rqH5c4fUOL

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

I once burglarized a home & stole a safe. I cracked the safe & discovered photos of the owner molesting a child. He reported the burglary to police. I turned the photos in. The cops called him in to discuss the burglary. He confessed. We both went to prison.

@HowCorrect @fearthefin I asked if those numbers included two-way contracts. Median isn’t an answer.

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

@fearthefin Does that number include two-way contracts?

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

@puckdiary Celebrini lives with Thornton, so maybe Jumbo is schooling Macklin on the Jumbo handshake contract.

Take a hometown discount and require that you are always the highest paid player on the team.

@gW7r0EYG92GwdKn @RocCityBuilt @greg_price11 The Constitution doesn’t say where our rights come from.

@jeremotographs I came over here to X just to say this because the OP is trending in other places and I had to correct the BS.

Back to Threads and Bluesky…

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

@jeremotographs I was an incarcerated firefighter, by the way.

And feel free to follow me at Threads and Bluesky, where I do most of my posting these days. Same handle.

While I was in prison, I was the food procurement clerk. It was my job to work with the first cook to design the daily food menu (a 6-week cycle) and then make sure the men were fed on a budget of $2.60 per person per day. The Best Xmas prison meal, a thread...

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

A Christmas prison meal for the ages.

@eck7474 Varies by local, but generally apprentices start at 35/45% of journeyman wage, and then get 10% wages yearly for the duration of the 5 year apprenticeship.

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

For the first two weeks of December, IBEW Local 6 (San Francisco) will be accepting applications for the inside wireman apprenticeship program. Journeyman wage is currently $91.25/hr plus benefits.

This apprenticeship changed my life. Folks with felonies are welcome to apply.

@OlMadeAmerica You’re just proving my point.

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

It really is better. Come on over.

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

@OlMadeAmerica You know what the litmus test is for such things? Absolutism.

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

@OlMadeAmerica You’re confused.

@glittatrix Hence, my resume.

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

I’m ready to run the Bureau Of Prisons. Here’s my resume:

I’m so old that I can remember when America had presidents and attorneys general who didn’t have mugshots.

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

@Navigat37899388 Yes. Is that a surprise? I mean, do my Tweets suggest something else? 😂

[Matthew Hahn @hahnscratch]

@amandaknox Found you.

I said it 8 years ago and I’ll say it again today:

We are living in a Philip K. Dick novel.
