I find it a bit disingenuous to have such stories without a mention of the original crime (not every murder gets one life without parole) and what got the author into isolation in the first place. Otherwise it's a bit like Godfather being a devout catholic. Nice, but are you fully following that faith of yours outside the church? Now, it's quite possible that Michael J. Nichols was wrongly convicted, unfairly sentenced and/or is thoroughly rehabilitated and deserving a resentencing with possibility of parole. Or else a minimum security prison with outside work and other provisions to let him live decent enough life while incarcerated. I am just skeptical of stories that omit context that is highly relevant one way or the other.
