After posting names, I realized it was kinda inconsiderate of the people themselves. As far as "confidentiality" in the Straight sense, gimme a break! I have not one grain of respect for that place or any of its rules or policies. But I do care about human beings, and that's why I felt bad afterward.
This is so weird overall, discovering this site and remembering all this stuff. I cut it all out so fast when i left, and have thought so little about it for the last 18 years or so... I've come a long way in life, have two great kids, play music and do art for a living, etc etc... Life is, generally, good. I'm still trying to figure out why I seem to want to tap back into this stuff at all; I guess it's because there were some other inmates I did care about, and wonder if (and hope that) they're doing OK all these years later.
This is my final post on here, at least for quite some time. I'm gonna have to slip away (try to hold back the tears, haha)... But I just want to say I hope everyone/anyone who had the same horrid prison experience that I did is enjoying life today. Honestly, I think that godawful sentence helped me enjoy every single day of life all the more today. Jeezus, I didn't see the SUN for a year! Might explain my major aversion to fluorescent lights and white tile...
Smyl!
