Yeah.

Oh, yeah. There's plenty of guys that make a living going to jail. I mean, they'll get arrested on purpose or they'll violate probation with drugs like inside them and then go in there and, you know, make 20 grand.

Seriously? Yeah. Oh yeah. There's a lot of people that, there's a lot of people that know how to make a living in there, but can't make a living out here, you know, or like they run, they're a bookie. They run like a sports book or something in jail. They make a lot of money. They do tattoos. They can make money. They can support their family.

You know, if you, if you like traffic drugs into jail, you're going to make a lot of money. So people will routinely do that.

There's access to drugs, but really like the shot callers get access and then people with money. And I had no money. And drugs are maybe 20 times more expensive in jail. So you need to have your family literally wire money to their family. Like if you want to get high, it's like $100 and your family has to wire money to their family.

and then they get the call that the money came through, and then they'll give you the drugs. So I didn't have any money. Yeah. But I had a great time in jail. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

Well, that's the thing. Jail separated me from drugs, but I'm a drug addict. And for many drug addicts, it requires more than just the separation from drugs for a period of time. So I get out with the intention of not doing drugs again. And I'm in the holding cell to get released, and I know somebody in the holding cell, and they're like, hey, I got 40 bucks. Do you want to get high after this?

And you just can't say no. I mean, it is just within your... uh, it's completely within your soul at that point that you, you're just a drug addict. So, um, so I went and got high and, um, I never got strung out on heroin ever again, but I did get high about maybe three or four times. And, um, uh, heroin crack and meth. And, um,

Fortunately, I had like, you know, I would call them absolutely horrific spiritual consequences, you know, during each one of those relapses. And one of them I actually ended up, you know, waking up and missing part of my face. I'd done some kind of meth and heroin and blacked out. I'd been sober for like four months and relapsed with an old friend and blacked out and woke up in Chinatown.
