What’s good, people? The holidays just passed here on Riker’s Island. It was rather uneventful. At Christmas, a somber mood permeated throughout the dorm. The guys somberly reflected on missed family and friends, and their current situations. I basically did the same. This was the second year I was incarcerated for the holidays. I’m determined to make this the last time.
What’s up world? I’m one month into this bid on Riker’s Island. Slowly but surely, I’m adjusting. The transition from the free world to this environment has been startling, to say the least.

I sleep in a dorm surrounded by 60 men. Real wack! The 6 building is basically a sentenced building — meaning most of us will be home in a year or less. I’ve met people of many races, classes and denominations. There are Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, Gods, Muslims, to name a few.
