  • Insightful and Fascinating

    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.

  • Interesting!

    Well told story that only makes Blago, by his and his family’s own words, look worse than he already did. Just about the perfect length, excellent background and details, and intriguing with laughs throughout.

  • God help me, but I have a soft spot in my heart for crooks like Blago.
