...ride the 45 miles out to Bridgewater once each week and for an hour and a half you teach a guy to read. Your first time down you wonder how some convict who has been labeled criminally-insane or sexually-dangerous is going to react to an occasional visitor from Harvard.

...says Mosiello, as he sits in his modest "office" -cell 105, 3 Tier, 6 Wing Right, Trenton State Prison. While other cons roam idly through 6 Wing, struggling with the numbing daily routine inside what they grimly call "the Wall," time rushes by for Hank Mosiello, No. 50622, a convict entrepreneur who does not need to be free to be enterprising...
