Final
I have decided that today would be my final blog from prison, I want to thank Justin for giving me the forum to express myself and to share my thoughts, observations and feelings about my stay in prison on his site. I hope that in some small way it has been a help to...
“Lasts”
It's 2 weeks and out and now I'm starting to do things in here for the last time, which is a great feeling, to be able to say that something is the last time I will do it in Prison, great feeling. So here's my first "last", my last trip to the commissary I did today,...
Clubhouse Turn
As I head into the clubhouse turn for the final two weeks I'm feeling all sorts of stress and anxiety as the final day approaches. I had an email from a friend who made a good analogy, it's like being the lame duck at work after you've given your two week notice, the...
Winding Down
As I come to the end of my term here I have found that the days are getting longer and longer, I know I've written about this phenomenon before but now it is really kicking in. I think being asked all the time by a bunch of my fellow inmates how many days do I have...
So Be It
I think it has finally happened for me, the point where no matter what happens or goes on in the camp I can say in stride, F__K IT! I have been told by many of the inmates that have been here for a longer time, like 18 months of longer, that this is the essential...

Routines
Today and tomorrow are my days off and on these two days I have to find various other activities to take up my time instead of work. Usually when the weather is cooperative this isn't too much of a challenge, I just spend more time outside walking or schmoozing with...
Numbers
I have always been fascinated by numbers, how they really do tell a complete story about everything and how most things can be reduced to numbers. Numbers can be massaged and redone and made to do and say so many different things to so many different people, they can...
2 Pt Reduction
Late yesterday a very nice event took place here at Camp Fed, I should really say an extraordinary event happened, one of the inmates was given an immediate release after his 2 Point Reduction went thru. Now I don't know the exact legal terms of this deal, but it was...
Groundhog Day
I understand today is groundhog day, for me that always brings to mind the movie by the same name with Bill Murray, one of my favorite Bill Murray movies. It's appropriate that today is the day, I feel as if I have been living the movie for the past 5+ months now, the...
