I don't ever forget riding on that bus.

Coming on this road, it was like, wow.

This is the road that lets you know you're going into a prison, Angola at that.

There's nothing to look at, nothing to distract you. Just a blur of trees and the steady rise of that knot in your stomach, knowing the road ends at a prison with a brutal history.

Am I ever going to get a chance

And they put me in population.

And life just started from there.
