a locked-up experience that I had personally with a locked-up inmate. While certainly a learning curve spiritually and emotionally, I wish I had read this book first as I might have rethought my journey based on my goals in life. My journey started in 2015 and, unfortunately, ended in 2021. This experience was based in Florida, so the content of this book is based on facts witnessed in the Florida prison system.

Thank you to all my friends and family who put up with the highs and lows of my journey. Thank you for loving me through it all and the support you all gave. I am in great hopes that my journey will help someone else avoid any heartache. Be blessed.
