Just because I’m in jail, that doesn’t mean that I’m not a person. I’m labeled an inmate with a comus number.

See, as soon as you come through these doors things really change. There are rules and regulations you have to keep. There always are going to be rules that you have to follow either if you are on the outside or in jail. It doesn’t matter where you are and what you’re doing, there’s always rules - and if you break them you end up in jail.

You see, the guards here, they think they’re smarter than us just because they’ve got the key to buzz us into our cells, tell us what time to go to bed, time to eat.

The problem is, the guards do not have the key. The only key to life in jail is, when you’re in here by yourself you just turn to the Lord, like I’ve done. The Lord’s the key and he’s got all the rules.

To those who want to break the law, think twice before you do it. Your freedom is taken away.
