Everyone goes there.

High classification inmates.

Because I got eight years makes me a high classification inmate.

So now I'm with the people that are doing eight years or more.

I'm nervous.

When I got to Westchester, I denied PC, but they still left me in there because I have a uniform.

Now that I'm outside of the Department of Corrections, technically I'm a civilian with an A-1 possession charge, A-1 conspiracy, you know, bribery and all this stuff.

I'm just a civilian.

And I denied PC when I got to downstate.

The warden comes and he goes, hey, listen, I know why you're here.

This is not a good idea.

And I'll let him know, like, no, you know, like I'm fine and I'm denying it.

Why am I denying it?

Because my entire time in Westchester in the law library, I know that if I go to work release, I have to be in general population.

I cannot be a PC inmate in work release.

They can't put me around general population inmates.

That's the only reason I was denying it for my personal safety.

I felt that.

I can do this.

I never did anybody wrong.
