Yeah. I met both types. Those who liked the lifestyle were scary, and now I can say--very obviously misinformed. I did find a few good ones in there, and they've stuck with me. I worked with young men, ages 16-23, and while doing my post in the isolation ward one night, one young guy asked to talk with me. He was getting out of prison in a day or 2, and he said he'd actually trusted me, and he shared some feelings about getting out. As long as I'd known him, I knew him to have a soft heart, and it showed in that conversation. It's always safe to be aware and cautious in there, but I knew this guy didn't belong there, showing by his desire and day-to-day choices. It's the guys who enjoy this consequence who are scary individuals, to me.
I want to be FREE!
