Rahsaan Thomas is a 44-year-old inmate at San Quentin State Prison in San Quentin, Calif. He has served 15 years of a 15-to-life sentence for 2nd-degree murder, with a 35-year enhancement for using a firearm. He shot and killed two armed men who he says were stealing property from him. “Someone stole my freaking identity,” I said aloud to the empty cell. Someone free stole my identity – a prisoner’s. According to the piece of mail in my hands, Rahsaan Thomas owed the IRS $5,000, a tax refund that the IRS now wanted back. The Marshall Project | by Rahsaan Thomas
