I was in a facility for 8 years. I have great respect for many guards who treated me like a human being. This treatment helped me change my perspective on life. Solitary confinement makes people go crazy in time.

All ANY of us can say is, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time," BUT I feel the plight of a lot of these guys being in the legal field myself, so I pray that these brothers can find a positive way and stay away from prison by getting some help.
