One year ago today, a prison guard banged on my cell door and said: YOU'RE FREE!!

After more than 11 years under a life sentence, I walked out of max security prison with Leaf Erikson, the little plant I was growing in my cell.

Leaf and I are so grateful for our second chance at life.

There are times when I'm in the middle of doing something and I stop because it just hits me all over again:

DEAR GOD, I'M FREE!!!

That wave of disbelief and joy overcomes me, just like it did when I walked free the first time. I wonder if it'll ever go away?

Like all of you, I am mourning Charlie Kirk. He stood up for his beliefs and died for them at 31, wearing a T‑shirt that read "Freedom."

At 31, my life was taken from me for standing up for what I believed in. And Charlie helped me get it back. He never took credit for it but he played a BIG role in my freedom in many ways. Last year alone, when President Trump won the election, he asked Charlie what was the #1 thing he could do for him and Charlie replied: "Free Ross." And in the days leading to my release, Charlie advocated for a full pardon. He did this and more without expectations of me.

I wish there was something I could do to help Charlie get his life back. But there isn't, and I'm heartbroken.

Charlie, I will always be grateful to you. Thank you for all you did for me and for our country. I pray for you and your beautiful family. Rest in peace.

Still remember watching a movie (Netflix I think?) about your story and hoping from that day you’d be freed some day. Glad it happened and not too many years later.

Look I don't care if he pardoned you that's no fucking excuse to support him. Personally if I was you I'd feel a lot of shame knowing that it was a pedophile that got me released from prison

Unbelievable sentence, and undeliverable freedom. Salute, man. And thanks to the activists who fought for your freedom, and to president Trump.

Yet US has one of the highest reoffending rates at 80%. Norway has lowest at 20%, rather than "punish" they rehabilitate. With such vast numbers reoffending it's arguably a national security issue. Taking up the mantle to push prison reform now you are free would be a VERY worthy cause. Ive no idea ...

Trump would have let you rot if it wasn't for all the pressure we put on him... You shouldn't be praising Trump. Trump didn't pardon you believe he loves freedom, Trump clearly hates freedom. Look at everything else he has done and is doing.

Regarding food on prison always choose the halal/kosher food option. I was a vegetarian when I got locked up, the vegetarian food in prison was a joke. Unseasoned and low protein. The non halal/kosher meat would cause serious stomach upsets for a lot of people.

Not being allowed to have sex is not really eugenics. USA was actually built on eugenics, Adolf Hitler was "inspired" by the American system. The whole idea for the holocaust was based on how USA exterminated the indigenous people and restricted immigration based on eugenics

You're completely right anyhow they treat the female prisoners, the prison I was at was unisex, we were segregated from the women but being diabetic I was taken to the med bay for insulin a few times a day.

The actual reason for prison is to maintain control over society through fear and give corporations access to cheap labour. Ross was locked in maxo the entire time so he never got a taste of the forced labour, but shit once you get to minimum security all you do is work work work for cents an hour...

Your speeches are always very interesting and emotionally engaging. Unfortunately, this is what most men tend to do when they can exert power over others—I doubt we can change that. The only way to protect oneself from it seems to be by gaining more power, which may be selfish. But unlike you, I b...

Since my release from prison, I've met many people who've thanked me for the role I played in what Bitcoin has become today.

In return I want to thank the community for having my back, both in prison and now. Thank you SO much for all of the love you are showing me!

Ten years ago to the day, I was sentenced to die in prison. Instead I gave my first public speech in freedom.

I wore a red tie as an homage to President Trump, the man who saved my life.
