Welcome to another episode of the Unlearned Wisdom Podcast with yours truly. Where are we? Here we go. He's like, you're pressuring me. I know. Where every episode is a gospel-centered lesson that you can apply to your life today. Let's go. What's the number of the episode today? Episode 31. And today we're talking about depression depression depression all kinds of depression what kind of what is depression um you know biblical characters that struggled with depression and yeah basically just overcoming all of those things and um yeah figuring those things out so stay tuned every episode everything ties into this trust your thoughts trust the word of god
It just all boils down to that. If you have any questions, just distress your thoughts.
Trust the word of God. Well, what if we don't know the word of God? That's why you watch this episode.
I noticed something today. Yes. I noticed you take super fast showers. Yeah, you. And so I'm just curious, like how much time did, how long, how much time did they allot you in prison to shower? Oh, it depends. Certain yards, but it's very fast. So like, how does it, how does it work? It's like, you, are you allowed to like, I thought you said you could get up whenever you want, but like, isn't there internally, you guys have your own regimen. So like describe your day and how you.
You wake up in the morning time, you do your program, your routine.
But that's not, that's not assigned to you by the prison. That's you guys self mobilizing.
Yep. Yep. Yep. So if you're part of a car and you're in general population, whether it's, you know, Hispanic or other or whatever, You all have your own programs. And so what I really respected with our race and a lot of other races is that they didn't let you take psych meds. It was all like, you're going to walk through your depression. You're going to work it out. You're going to read. You're going to overcome it. We don't take any meds. Why? It's seen as weakness if you do.
Who came up with that?
uh just the car the people who run the who have the keys of the yard people it's just passed down by you know politics in prison and tradition and and stuff like that so
So what was your schedule?
Uh, mine's just wake up every morning. It was like six in the morning, sometimes five in the morning. Just depends. Get up. Um, I would read, I read a couple of books in there. Uh, the 48 laws of power and, uh, green eggs and ham. Yeah. Green eggs. And I am Sam, Sam. I am. Uh, yeah. And, and, you know, at that time I read like the Quran, I would read the Bible and then, yeah, you start working out, go to chow. Um, And basically you can go to day room if you want. Like there's like a thing called day room.
How did prison life shape routines, mental health attitudes, and Johnny's daily schedule?
You go out of your cell and stuff. And then it depends, right? Because lockdown schedule is different too. If there's a riot, you get on lockdown. So basically you just have your own routine basically.
So after you do the workout and stuff in the morning, you're free to do whatever you want for the whole day.
Pretty much. I mean, there's yard, there's night yard, there's, you know, day yard. I mean, there's different yards. So yes, you are technically, you don't have to go to yard. You don't have to go to chow. I mean, you don't, I mean, some prisons maybe, but the ones that I was at, you know, you don't really have to.
What time do they force you to go to bed?
They don't force you to. Well, they lock. Yeah, they do force you to. They lock you up. Lockups usually around like nine o'clock. Again, it depends. Lights out also. So it just depends. Nightyard is usually, I think, around seven. So, yeah, you start and then you go out and.
Do you think these, like, tablet, these, like, Pando tablets are, like, left all night? Do you think these guys are, like, just watching it all night?
Yeah, 100%. Yeah, they can do that. I know people, like, again, it depends, right? Because, like, if you, in Mississippi, where I went during the, when Arnold, the governator, when Arnold was the governor and he was doing the great prison reform, he was trying to make California a lifer prison.
