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.

You don't leave the room. You don't ever get a chance to breathe fresh air. Got it. First time in my life I've ever been sunburned because, you know, I'm mixed race and I just tan and tan and tan.

But the horrible food and the 92 days in jail when I first got out in the springtime, that was the first time in my life I'd ever been sunburned because I hadn't had the sun shine on my face or my skin for all that time. No, you are just in that room.

There is a window. I still remember the view. I could probably paint a picture from memory of the exact view. I'm facing a very ugly communist era apartment block and there's a tiny corner of a park. I drive past it sometimes to make myself feel better. I literally drive past my jail just to make myself smile.

So this is the craziest thing. You have to understand that even the Romanian police officers and the Romanian prison guards knew that I was unjustly in prison. A lot of them, and I can't say their names because they get in trouble, but a lot of them, the high level people in the prison would say to me, look, guys, I'm sorry you're here.

Andrew, every single time that we were waiting for this phone call, which was six or seven times over the period, Andrew'd be like, oh, maybe we'll go home. What are we going to do? We can go home. I was just like, nope. It's a matrix attack. F*** it.
