One of my past celly’s got rolled up (this can mean many things, sent to the hole, ran off the yard by other inmates, put under investigation by administration, and others which will be the case here) today. He has to go to court on another charge. It is fairly serious-attempted murder. This happens a lot in here. Sometimes guys have no clue it’s coming either. Some DA can decide they have enough to charge you on another crime, and bam!, you’re back in the county.

Stretch knew it was going to happen, but I imagine it really turns your life upside down hereĀ (as if it’s not enough already). However, it is probably a relief to get it over with when you know it’s hanging over your head.

I hope they offer him a good deal. Whenever you live with someone here, even for a short period of time, you get to know them pretty well. Stretch is decent dude. I talked to a girlfriend on the phone today who told me she was dated raped a while back. She is doing good and didn’t mention the whole dilemma. She says she is going to come and see me in December. That would be cool. But it is a long trip, and I am not going to count on it.

I watched a show on ABC Downtown tonight about ecstasy.

It brought back a lot of memories. That drug seems to be getting more and more popular.

Speaking of dope, there is a lot of it here on the yard now. I’m trying to stay away from it. It’s hard for me, but the amounts that they sell wouldn’t do much to me anyway.
