 After reading the script for Fortune and Men's Eyes by former prisoner and playwright John Herbert, he was instrumental in producing the play for an off-Broadway production.
 Later, he was a civilian observer during the Attica Prison riot which left a deep impression on him and spurred his lifelong activism for prisoner's rights.
 This inspired him to found the Fortune Society organization that seeks to advocate for prisoner's rights and works with former inmates to aid them in adjusting to life after prison.
