Ken Behr

I mean, not just because it was 1988 they didn't have computers, but it was just...

a hell hole, but I was only there for a couple weeks.

But when I was in Ohio, conversely, the Midwest, everybody's nice, the place is clean.

I used to joke around, the guards knock on the door.

They don't.

Wake up, would you care for the fresh squeezed juice or the croissants today?

No, they still give you the powdered donuts.

But there is when I realized I was in big trouble.

You know, one day a guard comes in, some guy comes and calls my name.

I've been there like three months waiting to get a bond, get something.

And he calls me up and the guy goes, you Ken Bear?

And I'm thinking, wait a second, he just pulled me out of my cell.

There's only two people in the cell.

There's me and a large black guy.

And John's a great guy, but it's, I'm Ken, yeah, who else would I be?

And he goes here and he hands me these papers and the guard I remember his name was Bill He was a really I connect him Bill and I got along.

He was a good guy and he goes hey kid We're putting you on suicide watch tonight And I go what and I opened the papers and I see the Rico he goes you're looking at 55 years kid and I go No need

I'll be all right.

Wow.

But I think the 55 years made it sound like almost impossible because it was 25, really.
