I agree with you. I think the actual article lived up to the HN link title. I'm impressed by Frederick Hutson - he was sharp to the opportunities that he saw even in prison. Lesser mortals like myself would have been too devastated to even think straight, much less identify such an opportunity.

He went to prison for routing marijuana through his business. I think if you're willing to risk doing something like that, you're probably not going to be "too devastated" if you end up in prison - or, at least, surely you're not going to be too surprised.

Your theory is one would not be devastated going to prison? I think most people don't plan on being caught. Going to prison is a total upheaval in one's life and the fact they may deserve it or should not be surprised is irrelevant.

Now, if this was like his third trip to prison then you would have a point...

True. I don't think I'd be caught routing marjuana anywhere, so I'm going to be more devastated were I to land up in prison. Still, credit where credit is due!
