I tell you one thing - I'd never really associated with any criminals before I went to jail and I was surprised by the personalities of those I met inside.
The title of my autobiography will be "All my friends are murderers". Honestly, nearly all my closest friends in jail were the murderers - for the most part they were the nicest, calmest, most intelligent people locked up. Why is that? I don't know. [I was in a jail where there was no classification - you could steal a candy bar and be celled with a guy facing a mandatory life sentence for multiple homicides]
