I'M DEALING WITH IT.
I'M A MULTI-VIOLATOR.
I STARTED DOING
TIME IN 1959
AND I WENT STRAIGH TO A FEDERAL PEN.
THERE WAS NO YOUTH AUTHORITY
OR NONE OF THAT STUFF.
A GROUP OF GALS GOT A
HOLD OF ME AND SCHOOLED ME.
I LEARNED HOW
TO DO TIME.
I DID TIME UNTIL
I WAS 38 YEARS OLD.
AFTER ALL THE
TIME I WAS OUT, I STARTED USING AGAIN.
ENDED UP BACK
IN THE STREETS,
ENDED UP BACK
IN THE SYSTEM.
WHEN I CAME IN HERE,
I WAS GOING DOWN ON SOMEBODY FOR $5
AND I THOUGH HE GOT CHEATED.
