Since I am the chaplain at a prison, I have decided to name all my beers after something prison related. As I produce beers and name them, I will explain the names here.
Off Paper is a prison slang term for being completely free. This means that an inmate will not be tracked by the state in any way for the crime for which he/she was incarcerated. Off Paper occurs when a prisoner either discharges his/her sentence, completes parole, or completes probation. Being Off Paper is the final goal of most prisoners, as that is when they are truly free and can move about without having to check in with anyone or worry about breaking parole/probation rules.
