They was like, you're going home June 22nd, 2010.
Wow.
One day after my 38th birthday.
Wow.
And so I literally called my dad.
My dad answered the phone and I was like, dad, I got my parole.
And my dad let out a guttural cry.
a rejoice that he had held pent up for 19 years.
And it was like, holy smokes, you know?
And so I knew when I got out, my plan was, I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna hustle these books out of the trunk of the car.
Get out, I'm gonna just sell these novels and eventually I'll make it.
And so I get parole.
They take me from the prison to the parole office.
I get to the parole office and I'm inside.
And I literally asked the lady, hey, can I go outside?
Really?
And she was like, what are you talking about?
Like, you're free.
You go where you want to go.
Wow.
