I'm enjoying your life series a lot. This is the first time I've commented on one because this is something I've been thinking about recently, facing potential jail time with my on-going drug case. I think I'd be able to make friends easily, but I know they wont be the civil type, which is what I'm afraid of. I've spent a lot of time rehabilitating myself and I'm afraid I may end up down the same path that I was on before I was raided, being influenced the wrong way. I know that probably wont happen because my mind set has changed so much, but I also don't want to go in there, be solitary, and give a group of predators the idea that I'm vulnerable. I will most likely be in some shit hole, and if I'm really unlucky I'll be getting processed via a detention camp for deportation back to my birth country, so potential predators will be of the ugliest. I'm a little fearful but overall I think I'm prepared. I guess I just have to wait until I face whatever's coming.

Please keep these posts coming. I know we have completely different situations but it helps me to read these posts and to learn from someone who has survived prison. Thank you.
