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.

Hot, Cold

At just about every prison (with the exception of the privately-owned prisons), there’s no A/C. If you live in Florida like me, you know how hot it can be most of the year.

During those months that it’s hot, there is never any real relief from the heat. Then when it finally gets cold, the prison hands out these jackets that on the streets wouldn’t even qualify as a jacket. All it really is, is a thin piece of fabric.

When it goes from being unbearably hot to freezing cold, it makes you wish it was hot again.

So far, it’s only been really cold for two or three days so it hasn’t been that bad, but November just started, so I know some really cold weather is just around the corner.
