E— Taylor Klahn (center), accompanied by his friend Robert Schneider (left), smiles at a baby carried in a stroller while the pair head to the bank to open an account in Taylor’s name on Monday, June 1, 2026, in San Francisco, California.

Klahn moved to the Lake Tahoe area after leaving prison, and his son was born a year later. “I remember, I cut his umbilical cord, looking at him, [thinking] there’s no way he’s gonna go through this shit that I went through.” Klahn says he eventually acquired full custody of his son, now 21, a recent college graduate living in Oregon.
