Thanks for this super interesting AMA, and good luck with the rest of your life! I have a couple of questions if you're still going

  • Are there any particular types of people who get picked on worst inside? You already said racism wasn't too bad, but as a skinny, fabulous 5'7 gay guy, I'm pretty afraid of prison.

  • Was it easy to sort of just leave the contacts you had from the drug business? ie once you get sent down do they just no longer care, or are they harassing you to carry on as soon as you get out?

Hi, Natalie! Your party made a great case for yourselves last year and I'm proud to have voted Green in the European elections. However, when I tell my friends and family I have similar intentions this year, they often say that the Greens are too idealistic, and that some policies (like Universal Basic Income, or a fast transition to renewable energy) are unrealistic and unaffordable. What's your response to this common critique?

Is it blatantly obvious when people are coming in for the first time, and is there anything you do to try and help them relax?
