Talk:Michael G. Santos

Early life
This biographical article begins when its subject is 23. Surely, he had a life before than, and most likely, it can be discovered. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:11, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Extraordinary claim
From the lead: "'He is the first U.S. prisoner to be released from a maximum security facility back into society.'"

This is patently false and easily refuted; see,for example, this article about a man released from a maximum security prison in New York State in 2010.

From the Biography section: "He was 'the first and only prisoner in history to gradually earn his way from a maximum security cell block to a fenceless camp'.[4]"

This statement is more specific than the first, but seems dubious. Is there a better source than a summary article with no corroborative detail?

Parole
Santos has mentioned that he'd never used the internet in all his years in prison. Wasn't he ever furloughed? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:14, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
