Recommended reading: Bill Livingston’s piece in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on the prison blogging of former Ohio State star running back Maurice Clarett.
Writes Livingston:
“News that Clarett, the running back who was the best player on the 2002 national champions, is dictating blogs from jail in Toledo to family members brings with it the caveat that he was always good at conning people.”
In other words, while saying the right things from stir is good, talk remains cheap. Let’s see what Clarett — who threw away several chances before getting sent up the river for armed-robbery — does when it gets outside the walls.
According to Livingston, Clarett “had a pervasive streak of nihilism in him.” Is that something prison is likely to change?
