This is the ending of my day we have about an hour and 15 minutes before its time to lockdown in our cells for the night,today was productive i went to my drug education class and i will have it completed next week after i take my final test which i know i will ace it,reading and comprehension is my strong suit.Im only taking the required by the court class because the day of my arrest while getting booked in i was asked did i wanna take a voluntary urine test in which i consented because i know i would only test positive for marijuana which i legal recreationally in my home state of Michigan. After the drug test the U.S Marshalls told me i was dirty for weed,i replied yeah i told you i would be, But unfortunately i learned when the pre sentence investigator interviewed me that the federal government still recognized marijuana as an illegal substance and me consenting to a voluntary urine analysis gave me negative points to my assessment level used to classify me.Now I’m taking a drug education class which I’m not mad because i love to learn but i for the life of me don’t understand how my state can pass a law but the federal government say its unlawful. Since I’ve been incarcerated I’ve taken another class ,this one i actually signed up for its called Parenting From Prison.I learned a great deal from this class from ways to effectively communicate with your child during incarceration and i even learned some great things like games to teach over the phone,other things i learned was the different parenting styles and ways to co-parent effectively which is good being my sons mom and i aren’t together and I’m single.The methods in the class i know helped a great deal and so far that class has been my favorite. Today i was called to the education room and come to find out that the pre sentence investigator didn’t confirm my G.E.D,so today the teacher attempted to put me in a pre G.E.D class but fortunately i actually do have one and i filled out the verification form,and i left afterwards. I still amazes me how the Fed’s don’t know everything as they claim they do isn’t this the whole BIG BROTHER? But overall the day was not bad beside the normal missing family and liberty,its super cold out Illinois is definitely home of the windy city i thought being from Detroit it wouldn’t be bad but no i thought wrong,i still think about moving southwest where its much warmer, My brother lives in Arizona maybe that could be a great place traveled there with my son months before my arrest and we enjoyed the fun in the son. When i look back on my journal writings i will most definitely never forget things that i dislike about prison,like a guy right now sitting next to me on the computer digging in his nose in between him typing, smh I hate it here.
