Today marks one month since I have arrived at Lompoc I. It has been an eye opener for sure for someone who has never been in jail let alone prison. I am here on a white collar crime/fraud, I am not saying I should not be paying for my crime but putting me in a low prison for a sentence of 35 months is kind of absurd. There are people of all kinds of ethnic backgrounds and it’s sad because some can’t even read. I do feel like they have some good programming to help people succeed. I would really like to help people who maybe can’t read. I would also like to help people put together a resume so when they do get out they can get a job. I feel with my experience on the outside if I could even help one person succeed on the outside GOD would be happy with me. I have really brought GOD back into my life and trusting his guidance, I am the passenger in this life. The hardest part about being in here is being away from my family. Again, how am I to repay my debt being in here again not saying I should be free but I really think home confinement would be more of penalty because you lose a lot of privileges and stuck at home. I have been journaling everyday, reading and doing book reports. I have not been able to keep up transferring from paper to email. I suggest people read Cameron Douglas- Long Way Home, he spent about 7 years in the BOP. My family is coming to visit tomorrow so I am very excited for that but also I know it’s going to very emotional.
