Origins of Prison Pete. From the Editor:

Happy St. Patrick's Day. I'm sure Pete is wearing green today just like he does every day.

Michael is curious about the origin of bloggers' domain names. I am including the blognameorigin tag he proposed to track this.

The idea for the Prison Pete blog and the name "Prison Pete" came from Pete himself in a letter he wrote to me from Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Beckley, in Beaver, WV, almost one year ago.

You can read in the archives his original proposal for the blog, my first post to establish the blog, and Pete's first blog post from prison.

Pete was released from Federal prison in November 2004 after serving eight-and-a-half years of a ten-year sentence, and is now in a NY State prison near Buffalo, NY serving an additional five-to-fifteen year sentence.  ¶ 2:14 PM
