This episode is a special episode that does not follow the typical format of our show.

This episode was made in response to the arrest of Michael Thompson. Mike was incarcerated for 45 years and was a former leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, a notorious prison gang.

Upon his release, we had the pleasure of forming a friendship with him and he became the subject of two wildly popular interviews with us.

Michael's story of redemption inspired a lot of people and of course angered a lot of people.

Michael has now found himself back behind bars on serious allegations of EDD fraud. Due to these charges, Mike may spend the rest of his natural life in prison.

There have been calls to do an episode regarding his arrest from many of our fans.

Instead of us doing an episode by ourselves, we have brought on Michael Thompson's wife, Ariel Tomioka to speak on her side of what happened.

The Damage Done Podcast did not make this episode to convince anyone that Mike is guilty or innocent. We asked the questions we felt were important to give more context to the charges against Mike.

The opinion of guilt or innocence of Mike is none of our concern here. This was made for you to form your own opinion.
