Sometimes though, as a prisoner, you just accept where you are and time has no meaning and you are way more free than anywhere else, like no-one even wants your meditations anymore. I mean I felt that way a few times when I was locked up. It's almost like when the body is in jail the mind ranges freer than ever, as a prisoner I was totally relaxed. I had my own cell to think in by myself. But I wasn't free, I was a prisoner of Monmouth County, N.J. and Fairfax County, VA and just thinkin' in a freer way, because I had nothin left to do and nothin' to distract me and plenty of time completely to myself in my monastic cell.
I had this idea to throw a set of childrens' trainin' wheels into some wet cement. ::hatter:: ::dove::

I recently ran across an old thread in which people debated which was worse, prison or Straight. You may have posted there. Since you are a person with experience in both settings, I'm curious to know your take on this issue.

I've never done time in the adult system so I can't really speak to that. All my time was served in the juvenile system...well besides that one drunken night where I stood in the middle of the road and made traffic go around me and when the cops rolled up to my knee caps and wanted my name I tol' em it was Jesus Christ... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Yeah I spent the night in jail that night, but that was no big deal. Although I got a heck of a story about that whole night but I can only tell it in person under certain conditions, see ??
Still, I have been a prisoner in 2 state correctional systems and I did plenty of time in $tr8. It wasn't like I was doin' serious time with 35 year old bad-ass muther fuckin' killers, although I was in with juvenile bad-ass killers. My total time in these 2 juvenile systems combined was all of about a month. There are people far more qualified than I to answer your question, which is why I never posted on that thread.
I personally regret having chosen $tr8 over prison/jail(and I did have a choice, as soon as I turned 18 I could 'a' signed myself out and gone and served my year) I don't think prison/jail is near the mind-fuck that $tr8 was, at least not back in 1986, although I've heard that, that is changin'. Of course a lot depends on the circumstances too, like where ya gotta serve your time and how long ya gotto do.
(This one's for my bro Woof-a-Doof :lol: )FUCK AUTHORITY. FUCK $TR8. FUCK ALL THE INSTITUTIONS. GOD IS IN YOU.
