Ask me about financial success to spending 2 years state prison

[golfnutt]

Was there a gym there? How big are you?

I would definitely consider running. I am not sure of the extradition policies for financial crimes. The guy Clinton pardoned lived a nice life in Europe. Yeah, it would suck having to leave America, but I think prison (if I survived) would change me much more radically than leaving America would.

Are you still bitter toward the DA? If someone completely [censored] my life to further his own political aspirations I'm sure I'd dream of revenge if not actually carry it out.

golf,

I am/was 5'10"175. Not cut or anything, But, I am able to lift considerably more than my size and build would indicate (225x10). This definitely helped me. Not because it was intimidating (which it def wasn't there), but because it help gain respect. Most of they guys there either didnt lift or not that much. So the guys I worked out with were bigger, and if not impressed at least surprised and how much I lifted. This turned into comradery as I was in a 4 person workout "crew" listening to good nature encouragement of ,
"come on white boy, get that money as Im pushing my tenth rep".

If it was more than 5 years I would have given running much more consideration. 10 years I was gone. BUt 2 years they were just panic thoughts

There was an indoor gym and outside weight pit. We had old dumbells, a few benches, free weight, a rusty, but functional old universal station. From what I undersatnd most jail now only have welded bars of different weight (135, 225,275 etc) to prevent injuries.

swing,

It was more hate than bitter, and felt more when I was going through the prosecution and in jail. Definitely "dreams" of revenge, but not violent. MOre a complicated plot that would result in public disgrace. Over the years that urge has greatly faded (trying to see things as a good life is best revenge thing)but I still think about it every so often.

Garcia,

No nets.

Thank you for sharing. This has been a great read.

If you only had a single piece of insight you could share with a person going away for awhile what would it be?

Also, could you please describe the biggest blunder you made (once you were actually locked up).

xx, did any of your friends blackball you during the sentence? You mentioned you found out who your real friends were while in prison - what happened with those that weren't really friends? Have you seen/talked to any of those who ignored you during your term since being free?

This story reminds me of 25th hour in a way. So I'll ask:
what did you do the last day before you went into jail?

[worthless]

Would it ever be possible to have a laptop computer?

What kinds of programs were offered and did you use any of them?

If one is respectful (all about respect in prison) and minds their own business they will most likely have an uneventful "bid".

As far as blunders, I started to get too comfortable with my surroundings. I forgot where I was and who I was with. A few occasions things could have gotten physical. It did not even have to go that for if I remebered where I was

[x] thread delivers.

Also, what's a "bid"?
