What a difference 10 years makes. One thing I will say is that the most uncomfortable experience I've ever had was working alongside an inmate from the halfway house.

this was a decade ago. He had a permanent ice grill like this
Dude was institutionalized for real. I'd talk with him sometimes and it was like wow, dude was not ready to be released. I remember saying how I got a cd i just listened to or read a new book and dude said in this heavy deep ass voice "when you finish listening to that cd or reading that book, let me borrow that". I'm looking at him like

I know if I gave him that shyt, I wasn't gonna get it back. Dude must have thought this was prison where he was gonna extort me or rob me. I was a criminal justice major in school plus I heard shyt about prison from other people and was watching msnbc lockup, I wasn't falling for that shyt.
Then there was that one time when I went to the bathroom and I swear the look on his face was like this

when i walked past. him. I was like

ran in there and locked the door. I was afraid that he would be there on the other side of the door waiting on some American history x shyt. He was the janitor so....
But anyways, he ended up getting sent back to prison because he didn't show up to work on time one day and didn't phone in the halfway house either. Two detectives came through not even 5 minutes after he showed up 2 hours late, walked out with him, left in the crown vic and that was that. Lesson of the story, even though they are trying to send people to prison without even doing anything to begin with, don't do anything to get sent to prison so you don't end up like him and other people that I've seen, come across, or a few that I know.
