You're so hood

When did you get out?

You could run for office and get a young wife.

In prison you are somebody's bitch. Oh, and you. You, my friend, would be da belle of da ball. Don't drop the soap! Don't drop the soap!

I stole. ... And I robbed. And I kidnapped... the... president's son. And held him for ransom.

And I nevah got caught, neither.

What was the food like in prison? Gruel. Sandwiches. Gruel omelettes. Nothing but gruel. Plus, you can eat your own hair.

The worst thing about prison was the... was the Dementors. They... were flying all over the place, and they were scary. And they'd come down, and they'd suck the soul out of your body, and it hurt!

My wife's cousin is currently doing a few years at Angola for numerous drug charges. He was a good kid and didndunuffin, but I have wondered what his life will be like when he gets out.

He seems to be a good young man, just has a drug issue. I would not recommend my company hire him, that I do know.

My brother has multiple felonies. He's employed as a "carpenter" (off and on) by my eldest brother.

He could totally get his life together, though, if he didn't have all kinds of substance abuse issues. My oldest brother will pay him well ($25 an hour), and he has a rent free place to stay. Yet he still can't get his crap together.

There's plenty of work out there in manual labor, if you're willing, though.

Per a good friend who was in Angola, you can tell when they are in jail/prison still if they will turn around. They can participate in the poor me mentality and blame others or take advantage of programs offered and make an effort to live right. He had done well since getting out, but many of his friends went back to the same life. He says it was obvious now looking back by their attitudes and actions while locked up.
