Early life

edit

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)Reply

Extraordinary claim

edit

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

edit

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)Reply
