One of the things I was determined to do in prison was to work out a lot and to read a lot. And eventually I read the Bible a lot, like if you want to talk about that at some point, because that was so meaningful to me.

And it was explained to me by the authorities there that prison is a very segregated place, that the unwritten policy in order to keep order is that people need to be part of their own cars. They called it โ the euphemism for gangs in prison is cars. What car do you ride in? and that they thought that for my own safety, that number one, I shouldn't be walking around with black guys.

I need to be part of a car and I need to join the white car and go see these two guys, Cole and Sadness. Sadness. His name was, I thought it was Sadness too. Exactly.

And so out of respect for the police officers, the correctional officers, I said, okay, I'll go see them. But I made it clear to them, listen, I don't give a fuck.

They all become part of their individual cars.
