throw me a line i'm lost on the sea. i was incarcerated in straight, springfield from 3/15/85-2/14/87. i copped out 4 times but they kept hunting me down and bringing me back. (Steve Mathews is my hero.) eventually i was court-ordered with a suspended 1 year sentence for grand theft auto. i only stole the truck from work because i was so desperate to get away from straight. straight was the most fucked up experience of my life. about a year after i graduated i had a nervous breakdown, i had no idea how to relate to the outside world and i still have trouble with this today. when i first got out of straight i was so confused and angry. i just did alot of drugs to try and erase the ugliness of the whole thing. first they tried to delete me from their world then i tried to delete them from mine. i ended up hitching around the country on dead tour looking for anything i could recognize; a reference point i could navigate from, something i could trust. i began drinking heavily, anyway its been a long strange trip, and theres' still a way to go. i live in western PA now, a long ways from the crazy suburbs of D.C. straight was definately a criminal organization. we were all mentally raped on a daily basis and i carry many an ugly scar and some wounds that just don't seem to ever heal, yet there were some things i learned in straight that have helped me in some ways. i retain a high level of awareness when it comes to analyzing the behavior of others. i pay more attention to body language, and voice inflection than to peoples actual words. i learned how to look inward with humility and this helps me to see myself and my world and the relationship between more clearly. i am interested in hearing from anyone who was in straight springfield between 3-15-85 and 2-14-87,but i would especially love to hear from Connie So**m*n. does anyone remember me? Carla He***ng how r u? whats up w/Fred? he was my oldcomer at one time i hope u r both doing alright, i would love to hear from u.
