Why Rick wished he had more hours a day in prison -- a place where most people are just looking to kill time.
The story behind the ex-prison guard rapper who uses Rick's name and why he's legally allowed to do so.
How Rick overcame illiteracy later in life and the must-read books he recommends for anyone with (legal) entrepreneurial ambitions.
