I've come out of a small jail and entered a bigger one.

That's what prison did for me, it isolated me, you know, it polished me up like a stone.

I had been imprisoned three times and had twice been incarcerated in a madhouse.

I know prisons from the inside.

By and large, prisons are survivable, though hope is indeed what you need least upon entering here; a lump of sugar would be more useful.

I had 16 other prisons that I needed to pay attention to, and we did. And I had 3,400 soldiers who were depending on me to take care of them, and I did.

I've been in jail a couple times. I've been caught shoplifting.

I go to correctional facilities and talk to kids there. They have little kids in there who are, like, 12 years old, stealing cars and stuff like that.

I've never been to jail. I've never been arrested. I've never been locked up.
