Prison was tough on me. I saw people in prison that made me ashamed I was a human being. Some make Qaddafi and Idi Amin look like Sunday-school teachers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Imprisonment hit me so hard - much harder than I had thought.
I hit rock bottom before I even went there. Actually, prison was the rescue mission that God had put on me. He sent out his angels to rescue me. In prison, he protected me the whole time I was in there, and it was just for me to get my will power back, to get my strength back, get my focus together.
I've spent most of my life in prison. I was a prisoner of my fear and my low self-esteem.
I spent five years of my youth in prison - some very bad prisons.
I have much to say about the pain I've felt and seen inside of prison. It has been an eye-opening and harrowing experience.
I'm a prison abolitionist because the prison system as it is set up is just not working. It's horrible.
To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there.
People always think about what prison is. What prison really is - it's not a physical challenge, it's mental.
Prison has a universal fascination. It's a real-life horror story because, given the right set of circumstances, anyone could find themselves behind bars.
Prison opened my eyes to so many things. It was a great time. I met interesting people. I got to understand the behaviour of the police and the media. I am an observer of the human race.
