Not in a million years did I think I would end up in somebody’s prison. Sometimes, I have to check and see if I’m dreaming cause it doesn’t feel real. All my life, I was told to work, and it will pay off. Shit, at times, I feel like that was a loser cause because real working people like myself always lose.

This was my first time going to prison, and there were so many things I lost along the way: my dad, grandma, loved ones, and a lot of myself. I ask, how can anybody ever become whole when the law state kills you inside? Will the lawmaker understand that locking a person in a 4×4 or 4×6 box does not fix anything? Do they know giving a person a life deal doesn’t help? It kills that person’s family as well.

When will they understand prison puts stress on life, not fix it? Well, I am working on living my life; I hope that one day, the law understands you. Yes, the law took my life and set the two people free, and they had people walk that show it. Lost faith in the law – Krissy
