The sense of entitlement continues to run deep (the outrage over a prison job being beneath him and his seniority 🤣). Rick Wershe Jr. aka White Boy Rick, is actually the longest serving prisoner of Illinois sentenced at 17 to life without the possibility of parole for a non-violent offence: where’s the outrage there when calling out the injustice in the Justice System — I suppose one can hide behind the seminal poem of Kipling but you can never outrun its truth.
What an interesting story! Enjoyed the facts and learning details from both sides! Great job!

Loved hearing the events firsthand and in such an unbiased way.
