I'm cutting hair.

I'm working in the mess.

So I get outside details because my crime is nonviolent.

And in comparison to the.

The serial killers I'm around, I don't have a lot of time to do.

These guys are lifers.

You know, I'm around lifers.

I want to add that the year that I arrived to Clinton was the year that the two inmates escaped from Clinton.

So security was extremely tight.

They weren't giving outside detail to just anybody.

The warden had to sign off and he knew.

He's like, all right, these guys aren't a threat.

I'm going to let them mow the lawn, let them shovel snow, do whatever they want.

And it worked in my favor because now I'm able to roam free in a place that is 22 and 2.

One hour rec and one hour, whether it's a school detail or it's like job training or whatever it is.

And the rest of it is in a cell.

You're in a max A prison.

I'm in the law library again and I said, you know what?

I remember being able to apply for a work release two years prior to my earliest release.

And I do exactly that.
