I agree that the headline sucks, but the response to his act of bravery has been great. Last time I looked (last night) a gofundme account had already raised $28,000 for him and heā€™d been offered several jobs as well as a suit for job interviews and other stuff.

From the interviews Iā€™ve seen, he sounds like a great guy and a perfect example of how rehabilitation can work in prison.

I have to disagree with the last part. His ā€œrehabilitationā€ was internalā€¦ It came from hearing his sonā€™s first cries. To me thatā€™s internal (inherent) to the man himself. We donā€™t know what he did (he could have been in jail for anything from unpaid parking tickets to murderā€¦but Iā€™m betting itā€™s more towards the former than the latter), but I doubt prison in and if itself had anything to do with his ā€œrehabilitationā€.
