I've spent two years in prison relaying stories sent by letters to a blogger about my crimes, arrests, and life in four Florida prisons, the Pinellas County Jail, juvenile detention and drug rehab. I'm sending a message to others not to make the same mistakes I did.

My first days in jail

When I first came to the Pinellas County jail for my most recent charges [in October 2008], I had the supreme pleasure of being put in maximum security.
I was placed in a small cell with a metal door. Inside the cell, there was a cot with a thin mat on it, a metal desk and a metal toilet. Nothing else.
I stayed in that cell for two whole days.
I wasn’t let out at all. All meals were brought to the cell on trays.
The bed had no sheets, no pillow and no blanket. There was just a mat and that’s it.
I got to stare at the walls for 24/7. There were no books, no TV. Nothing.
It gave me a whole new perspective on being bored.
