First Impressions




Well, I've been here a couple of days now and I guess it's time to describe my first impressions. It would probably take a long time for me to spit out everything, so I'm just going to do a bullet list. Here goes:

  • No more "Let's-have-pork-at every-meal'
  • A/C: The Texas Necessity
  • Fresh fruit, not from a can
  • My clothes are my clothes (no unexplained stains)
  • Satellite with movies galore
  • More weight sets than we know what to do with (medicine balls, too!)
  • Flip up your trays and buckle up; the descent to the free world begins here.
  • Administration oversees men, not inmates (they want us to succeed, too.)
  • Hallelujah! Two or three Christian studies each night
  • The shabby chic peeling paint and rust is a thing of the past
  • A shower without a timer? You mean I control the water? Cool!
  • Only place to absorb vitamin D is at rec (if outdoors)
  • Progress toward degree still halted
  • Is this cell a broom closet?
  • Hey, this window won't open
