I've spent most of my life in prison. I was a prisoner of my fear and my low self-esteem.

I've definitely become more aware of the penal system and more aware of what life could be like inside a prison.

I think my whole life has been shaped by my childhood incarceration in America's concentration camps.

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.

I want to be a figure for prison reform. I think that the criminal justice system is rotten.

Prison has humbled me in a lot of ways, because when you go to prison, I became 11 R 2024 you know, I wasn't Ja Rule the superstar. I wasn't any of that. I was just a regular inmate.

When I left prison, I had to figure out how to embrace my past.

I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history.

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
