Now that it's over, I can say going to prison sucks. Being away from your kids sucks. Have little to no access to the outside world sucks. Losing your job and ruining your reputation sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks, etc... That said, actually being in prison (a federal camp) is no big deal. It's safe, there's enough to do to keep you from going crazy, and you can work to improve your mind and body. The saying, "Do not serve your time, let the time serve you" is totally true. Like I said, I lost weight and read a ton. I also made great friends with some truly fantastic people.
Nick, Hollywood, Lee, Big-E, Bill B., Flex, Monty, Tim, Boardman, Chaka, Mark, Jim, Hunter, Shack, Smoke, Schnabs, E, Dino, Goldberg, Mike, KJ, Choche, and Bear - thank you! Best of luck to all of you and I hope we meet again someday under better circumstances.
I believe that prison made me a better person, physically and mentally. Obviously, I wish I never went. I wish I had stayed working and living at home with my family. But, I made use of my time and persevered the best I could while there. I got healthy by working out and running, learned a ton, and I tutored many looking to improve their lives by earning their GED. I can truly say that I have just endured an experience that not many can say they've experienced. Granted, you don't want to experience what I've experienced, but for someone that was comfortably in the 1%, consumed by money and greed, to go through what I've just gone through, I've gained an incredible new perspective.
I'm now out and looking to get back to work. I've restarted doing research at Bio5C. I need to climb from the bottom 99% up to get back. The round-trip will be 198%, and I expect it to be an extraordinary journey.
Thank you for reading my blog!
