During my time I was doing that sentence, a guy came in and it turned out that he knew someone else that was a mutual friend between us.
So he was a fellow prisoner.
He said, I heard that you were studying the Bible with a friend of mine.
I said, yeah, I was.
He said, I was about to get baptized.
And I said...
How were you supposed to get baptised and you're here in jail with me?
And then he said, before I decided to get baptised, I realised I had some warrants on my name and I felt that it wouldn't be right for me to go ahead unless I go and clear my name.
And so he turned himself into the police station and he ended up inside with me.
He helped me rebuild my spiritual journey up.
And he's another big, formidable type of guy too.
So when we both realised we were on the same journey, we were in different pods.
So we decided, why don't we approach the security guard in the jail and ask him, could you let us share the same cell?
And he looked at us and he said, you're joking, right?
Why would I put two big guys together in the same pod?
You guys were probably just trying to get together to try and take over or run amok in your pod.
And I like what Jack said to him.
Jack said to him, if you allow us to sell out together, the only thing we want to do is share things with the prisoners, the other inmates that will actually make your job easier.
And to my surprise, the guard there let us sell out together.
While I was there, Jack was sharing a lot of things to me.
