Notes From The Pen

Bobby is sick, so we're not able to record this week. He's okay, just feeling under the weather. I thought I'd play this one again because it ties into Bobby's last year of prison. Even though this was recorded in 2021 it talks about 'lasts' which is what Bobby is going through for the next 3 moths. We'll be back next week with a new recording, so stay tuned.Bobby hits a milestone, and Cpt Last Call makes an early appearance.A special thank you to Doug Stanhope, and make sure you visit his website for tour dates, and merchandise.⁠https://www.dougstanhope.com⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/DougStanhope⁠You can read more about Bobby and prison reform on the website: ⁠notesfromthepen.com⁠Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/NotesFromThePen⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYuOh4pKxa/?igshid=y8lo9kbdifvq⁠YouTube ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHN6enhnEfCr6D45TX9kvVA⁠Intro & Outro music created just for Notes From The Pen by PJ Trofibio & Jeff Quintero

Bobby and Co-host JD bring us up to date with embarrassing songs on Bobby's play list, and updates on the mandatory drug class inmates have to take prior to release. How prison addiction programs don't have enough slots for current inmates on the waiting list because they keep filling them with new ones. How it's creating a revolving door because the prison doesn't have enough funding or staff to handle addiction issues behind bars.

This is the first new year that it finally feels real as Bobby processes what leaving prison will look like 10 months from now.
