Once I got the eight, that's it.

How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

I got the eight and I'm running with it, right?

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

So now I'm just basically thinking how I'm going to live throughout this time.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

Six years.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

And it's much more dangerous.

And, you know, life doesn't cost a cent in there.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

Yes.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

So pretty much from December 2002, I stayed till September 26, 2008 in that prison, just moved around to different blocks.

Because I tried to escape with the tunnel that they caught me with.

So they sent me to F Block, which was the maximum security 22-hour lockdown.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

And the first time I was there for six months in 2005.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

And then eventually I was sent back there for selling drugs.

And they said I was extortioning people and things of that nature.
