Rebels, a few clarifications first...in the intro, I accidentally referred to Paul's book as "Crime and Punishment", (which I believe is Dostoevsky) also, while Paul was gracious enough to speak to me while he was in Germany, he was not in any sort of prison. He was released 28 months into his sentence, in 2022, but you'll hear that in the interview. We all have our stories of a "personal hell", but I think there are only a few that can come close to the horror of being incarcerated. This a is a very honest and direct telling of his experience, which I'd imagine would be just as difficult to talk about. As you'll hear Paul say, it was therapeutic for him to tell the story, as will the upcoming sequel about his post-prison life. This interview is much more than a cautionary tale; it's a conversation about a worls so many of us have so little understanding about. Thanks so much for coming on the show and sharing your story, Paul!
