[ WP ] Criminals have to be much more creative now that new , barbaric laws have been passed to punish them .

I've been working in crime since I was 16. I got wrapped up in it how most do; drugs. The lifestyle was appealing. No real responsibilities, no 9-5 mediocrity. I worked my way up from common delivery boy and ended up as an enforcer for a well known syndicate in Atlanta. It's important to have a certain image in this business, and being 6'5'' at 225 lbs with a foot long beard provide me with an intimidation factor that makes it easier for me than most. Or, at least it used to. 
 Since the `` Criminal Persecution Act'' passed last year, I've seen the majority of my cohorts maimed or killed. My bosses have gone underground and crime has gotten a lot more dark. No one is willing to take the fall anymore. It used to be a guy could do 30 years and come out with a kush bank account with no worries for the rest of their lives. Now the majority were just crack heads looking for their next score that only make it 7 months into their sentence. At least they've solved overcrowding in prisons, right? 
 Now, at 32, I'm considered a `` drug kingpin'' by the federal government. That's a joke, the worst thing I've ever done is rough up some drug addicts to pay up. I've been hiding for 10 months trying to get out of the country, but everywhere else is following suit. 
 My only hope is to track down my old bosses and turn them in for some kind of deal. It's a long shot, but I do n't think I have any options left.
