Читать книгу Prison Puzzle Pieces - Dave Basham - Страница 37

In writing these books, I realized some things.

I did not find many books on how prison life really is. There are reasons for that. When you get home, you definitely do not feel like inflicting more of this place on yourself. You need to get your head out of this place in order to try to maintain who you are and your sanity, even though that is not possible.

Working in this place 8 hours a day changes a person, and not for the better. You find out a lot of things you never knew. You have a darker perspective of life.

Sitting down and writing about this after I was out of this place, was not a pleasant experience. There were many times that those angry feelings came back; those feelings that I always worked so hard at trying to get rid of; those feelings of people that are supposed to be bad that appear to be good and those feelings of people that are supposed to be good that are bad; the feelings of friends that are enemies and enemies that become friends. The inner conflict is frustrating and confusing. It wears you down. It is difficult to maintain being the person you are or perceive yourself to be.
