Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

The U.S. prison population is the biggest in the world, with an estimated 2.24 million people currently incarcerated. Many will be there for the rest of their lives, while others, even upon release, will still face the countless challenges of rejoining society as a convicted felon. Chief among them: low self-esteem.
It doesn’t help that photos like this one are setting an unrealistic standard of beauty for America’s convicted criminals:
Every day, our media barrages the average felon with images of unattainable beauty, affecting his or her development in ways we’re only beginning to understand. These days, it seems the average car thief, drug dealer, or arsonist is taught from a young age that in order to be considered a true danger to society you must also have piercing blue eyes, perfect bone structure, and full, pouting lips.
“Mugshots like this one send the message that it’s not important what you stole, or who you had to kill to get it, it’s what you look like,” said Lynn Heisler, Warden of the Menard Correctional Center in Chester, Ill. “I see these young inmates working out in the yard, utterly dejected by images of attractive, physically fit criminals that they see on TV. I want to tell them it’s what’s inside—the uncontrollable, violent impulses—that truly define them.”
But with so many relentless portrayals of unrealistic felon beauty (like the one pictured above) bombarding our criminal population left and right, many believe that the damage is already done. Is it any wonder that some of these felons end up giving up their life of crime altogether?

doors will open by cougars, but I speculate if the higher functioning guys who read and post here met him they would quickly slot him as a dumb and possibly dangerous.
He wouldn't seem to pay attention to you, keep looking around, not really seeing, just looking for something for nothing.
His accent and lack of vocabulary would reveal a barren inner world.
Shallow, quick gratifications would be all that interest him.
Criminals are cold and dull. Average IQ of serious criminals is below 80, which is easily noticeable in social interaction. I personally tested quite a few and have published peer reviewed research on this, it's not just an opinion.

Maybe modeling doesn't pay well, but it's hard not to think that with his looks and half a brain you could make something besides being a punk work for you. Hard to know without having a sense of his personality and hustle though.

"Hot convict" Jeremy Meeks is a free man.
The convicted felon was released from prison on Tuesday, his agent confirmed to ABC News. Meeks became an Internet sensation in 2014 when his mug shot went viral after the Stockton Police Department in California posted it on its Facebook page. He was sentenced to 27 months in prison last year on weapon charges, but had hoped for an early release for good behavior.
Now, Meeks is looking forward to a career in modeling and acting.
"We have a lot in store regarding Jeremy’s new career," Meek's agent, Jim Jordan, said in a statement today. "There are a multitude of offers on the table. Jeremy is humbled and grateful and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers for him and his family.
Meeks will be spending the next few weeks in transitional housing "before he is completely free to start his new journey," Jordan said.
In an Instagram post today, Meeks thanked his family and fans for their support while he was in prison, adding that he's "ready" for what lies ahead.
Last year, Meeks told ABC News in an interview from prison that he was working on getting ripped in preparation for his modeling career.
"I eat healthy. I do a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, dips, burpees, and I stay very active," he said.
