None of the past offenses are mentioned so I can’t determine whether this fits the traditional pattern of self destructive behavior.
“I used to make cane and graphite fishing rods, and tie flies as a hobby when I was on the street,” said Jeremy Loyd, an Arrowhead prison inmate. “I approached Dave Block (a Correctional Industries manager) with an idea for making it a business and an educational program.”
On the surface it sounds like it satisfies the incarceration / rehabilitation model, but knowing our passion for fishing is he merely trading one downward spiral for another?
Yes, I’m joking – but the question remains.
There’s no telling what I’m capable of if a flotilla of inebriated water skiers dampen my fishing, or some insensitive brute on a mountain bike impales himself on my flyrod. If the crime scene evidence goes against me – would my wrapping your graphite rod be punishment, and for whom?
I’ll leave my faith in professionals, they do this stuff full time; but were it me, once back on the street, I’d be hawking dry flies to school kids in no time.

I think I’d be a bit leery of using a prison-made cane rod, especially if it was signed “Kaczynski, ADX Florence, CO”
I think an emergency shipment of anti-hallucinogenics is sorely needed…
I tried to take advantage of a closeout on a “Jeffrey Daumer” 5 weight, but they mentioned marinade needed, whatever do they mean?
