And that's kind of how I was like doing my sentence was like it was I got along, you know, with the African-American girls, with the white girls, Latina girls, with the mentally ill. Like I was trying to literally befriend everybody because I'm like, I'm very like social. And I'm like, you know, if I'm nice to everybody, then I don't have to worry.

I shouldn't have a problem. Right. So I end up going into prison. I'm in like low security because it's the first time that I'm there.

It's just like a check in process. You don't really have like too much clothes.

You don't have access to a lot. It's kind of like probably the roughest part of it. And so I go through the two weeks and then I end up getting put in like a low security prison on the grounds is what they called it. And for me, it was I had never been I had been to community college. I had never lived on campus. But I remember looking around and thinking like.

So I'm like, OK. So like I had like a little job there. Like I forgot what I did. So I had a schedule. It was very low security. I was obviously still in my khakis. You know, I was in prison, but it didn't feel like prison enough, I guess. Yeah. Right. So so here I am. I'm like doing the things, going to my job, you know, going to my room, doing all this stuff.

And I get picked up by a halfway house. They're like, okay, you've done, I don't know, maybe like three months. And I'm like, damn, this is moving along pretty fast. Right. I'm like, this is moving along pretty fast. I'd only been like three or four months that I'm in prison. And now they're like, oh, we're going to move you to another facility. It's what comes before the halfway house.
