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.

Your real friends

"The bad times show you who your good friends are." - Teen in Jail

If you were to go to jail right now, how many of your friends would come to see you? How many of them would be willing to bond you out - or at least put money in your commissary?

I'm sure if you'd ask them if they would do any of those things, they would say, "You know I would. You're my friend and I'm here for you."

But do you really believe that?

I'm sure I'm not the only person that will tell you that when you come to jail, you will be very lonely and your visits will never be booked up.

I'm not saying your family won't help you out. I'm just saying your friends aren't likely to.


Of course, there are good friends out there that will help you, but in my experience, most of them won't help you at all - unless they need something from you.

Just in case the people who have been looking out for me read this, this has nothing to do with you. You know who you are. Thanks for sticking by me. I won't let ya'll down ever again.
