After my release, I asked my dad to put my Lompoc Prison ID card up for auction on eBay for me. When eBay administrators yanked it down because it didn’t meet the company’s "community standards," they did me a huge favor. That act generated a media feeding frenzy. The story was quirky enough that it became a top news item on CNN. I then put the card on Amazon, where it was once again yanked for the same reason (thank you, Amazon!). A guy in Europe finally snapped it up for a whopping $4,000—way more than I’d ever expected to get.
