And one of the things that you , you encounter is that , you know , these pri it's not just cold in those areas . A prison is a cold environment and it's up to you to create your own heat . It's a dark environment .
Why did you do it ? Well , I think in prison you become accustomed to not wanting people behind you , right ? And then I got this scar in prison from behind .
Yesterday they were fine . You know , the next morning you wake up , they , they've hung themselves , you know , and , and these are the things that , that you encounter day in and day out and you still have to maintain a sense of uh a sense of humanity , right ? You gotta become , you could either do two things , you could become bitter or you could become better .
Um , there's a saying they say you build it , they're going to come , that's the same thing with prisons , you build them , they're going to come similar to , uh , the 1994 crime bill that was signed by , uh , Bill Clinton and authored co-authored by our now President Joe Biden . Um , and incarcerated more people across the country than in any other time , right ? I I it perpetuated the three strikes .
Um , there was a lot of stimulation and , you know , I could tell you that I'm still in shock even sitting here now that we're sitting next to each other because I spent the last several years visiting him at Sing Sing , which is , um , you know , not a great place . Sing Sing Prison in New York . Um , but I don't want to throw cold water on anything but , you know , there , there's a lot of stealing yourself for the moment last night going on that people didn't see from you .
