On some days in prison you might just need to get out of there, but on some days - not all days, but some - you might be able to see the sky and see the blue in it.

That is how prison is tearing me up inside. It hurts every day. Every day takes me further from my life.

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.

There's no doubt I expect to die in prison.

If you meet somebody who's spent any length of time in prison, you don't let your guard down. Ever. And really, that's what that was about-if you open up too much, you're asking to get your teeth kicked in.

To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there.

One does not expect to be comfortable in prison. As a matter of fact, one's mental suffering is so much greater than any common physical distress that the latter is almost forgotten.

The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.

One of the things about jail that's weird is that you're sent to a place where you're supposed to sit there and think about your actions and their consequences and why you're there. And I think now, it turns more into - the minute you go there, it's just survival.

We need prisons because there are some hardcore criminals, but I never met a guy who has been in jail that came out with a smile on his face thinking, 'Right, that's it - now I am going to be good!'
