Bernie Ward writes about prison life

As some of you know, Bernie has a website where he comments on news of the day and whatever's on his mind. I don't know if I can mention it. Anyway, its usually was too long and I never read it all. I check it now and then because I was a fan of his and of most of the old hosts.
But this time I read it all. I think some of you would be interested to read it if you have time to check it out.
 
A 'Bubba Cast" over a prison steam pipe? Looks like his release date is 12/21/14 according to channel 7 website. I wonder whet he will do to make a living? Go back to teaching High School? Radio Show? Blog? Work for a Senator? I do not think he can use the internet even after he is out. So probably hard to make a living and I think his fine is hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 
It's doubtful Ward can get a job in education given what he was convicted for, and no Senator would have him. He'll have a hard time on the outside
 
People with records can not even get a license to clean carpets. Doing something behind the scenes, fixing something, ghost writing something, working in a kitchen... he will be in the shadows that is for sure. The thing about teaching or working for a Senator was tongue in check, he used to do that.

He might be able to work in Christian radio. Ok, that was bad.
 
Well Jimmy Swaggert came back to TV . Maybe he could co-host the Michael Savage Show? I think he is pretty old, he will probably live off his family until he hits 65 & retirement. I do not think the fine can go after a pension, but I think they can garnish Social Security down to a certain percentage of the poverty level.

IIRC, that scandal broke when it discovered that Swaggart frequented prostitutes. Also, he publicly apologized for "sinning" and blubbered copiously. Those who were stupid enough to fall for Swaggart's TV ministry in the first place, were probably willing to forgive him.

But American society holds a special contempt for pedophiles, even in cases like Bernie's, in which he never acted on his compulsion, and collected kiddie-porn and fantasized about it. He will not be returning to any job in the public eye.

Hizoner might be interested in reading it. Is he allowed to even be on the Internet?
 
He is not allowed on the Net, his blog has to be put up by his "IT man" When he gets out (or if) maybe he can co host the KSFO Morning Show with Brian Sussman? ((just joking, but I guess it is a pretty sad situation because of what the whole mess might have done to his family)
