Sword and Scale Host

His sister Missy remembered that their mother practically enabled him.

Commissary and things.

We've all experienced someone in the family like this, right?

It always seems like the one who gets in trouble the most or is the least productive gets all the attention, doesn't it?

Yeah, fuck the productive one who pays his bills and minds his own business.

Let's focus all of our baby bird attention on this idiot over here that can't get their shit together.

Tom was about 25 when he went to prison, and now he was 42, with no home to go back to, no mommy to run to, and a son who was almost an adult now, ready to live his own life.

He had a lot to figure out, and even more to make up for.

And yet, here he was back at the police station.

Since he got out, he'd been looking for a place to stay, but his parole had restrictions.

No guns, no drugs, on and on.

His anxiety was increasing, and the previous night's drunken binge was going to land him in jail again.

Things were about to get worse.

In that clip, they were talking about the mother of Tom's son.

When he got out of prison, he was hoping to stay at her house, but that didn't work out because she wanted to rekindle the relationship and he had long since moved on with two different women.

49-year-old Regina Capobianco was one of them.

About 15 years earlier, she had signed up for a prison pen pal program where she met Tom.

Yeah, she was one of those weirdos.

They constantly wrote each other and promised they would meet up once he was out.

The problem, for Tom at least, was that he was looking for stability.
