Well, Romania has a very, I guess, smart way of dealing with their prison system. What they do is instead of investing money in the prison system, they eat all the money in fines for treating prisoners badly because it's cheaper than actually constructing new prisons. So every single prison here is built during the communist regime. None of them have been upgraded. None of them are nice at all.

The cell was about four yards by... Four yards by three yards. I'll use yards because I know you're an American. I like to use meters, of course. Two sets of bunk beds, tiny toilet in the corner. It's not a toilet. It's a hole in the ground, quite literally. And then there's a shower overhead that is either way too hot or way too cold. I was there for 92 days.

And if I had known I'd be there for 92 days, it would have been a much easier task. However, every two to three weeks, I'd have a court hearing to see if I was there for longer, if I was going to be released and put on house arrest. So I didn't know when I was going to get out, which was, I guess, the most mentally challenging part of it.

But it got a lot easier towards the end when I was put in the same cell as my brother. And then... My only role, my only job, my only focus was keeping Andrew mentally focused and keeping Andrew happy and making Andrew laugh. And I didn't even care about the fact that I was in jail because I am my brother's keeper. You know, it's good to have your brother's back.

So, you know, if I woke up and he was depressed or he was sad or he was angry, I didn't care about my own mental state. It was how's Andrew doing? And that's all I really focused on.

Play yard? Play yard? This is Romania, Candace. This is, I mean, this very average hotel is the best hotel we have. You think the prisons have play yards? Everyone asks me that. How was the church? How was the gym? Did you get yard time? I'm like, yard time? No, no, no. You are in that room and that is it. So I was escorted to and back from the courthouse in an armored police van and that was it.
