My Ten In A Federal Pen

This is not entertainment. This is a warning.

My Ten in a Federal Pen is the true story of ten years inside one of America’s high-security federal penitentiaries — a cautionary tale written by Michael, also known inside as Mike Hype. Every story shared here really happened. Some names have been changed to protect those still locked up or long gone, but the pain, the lessons, and the regrets are all mine to carry.

This blog isn’t about glorifying the game — it’s about showing you what it really costs. It’s about what happens when fast money leads to slow years. It’s about the people I met who will never see daylight again. It’s about how prison strips you bare and forces you to confront who you really are.

If you’re thinking it can’t happen to you — read this first.

This is my truth. My scars. My second chance.
