Adjusting to Freedom: A Conversation About Prison Reform with Luis Mattei Jr.

In this powerful episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz speaks with Luis Mattei Jr. about the challenges of adjusting to life after incarceration. Drawing from their personal experiences, Michael and Luis discuss the realities of reentry into society, the flaws within the prison system, and the urgent need for meaningful prison reforms. This candid and thought-provoking conversation sheds light on the human side of incarceration and explores ways to improve outcomes for those seeking a fresh start after serving time.

Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
