Normal everyday life,of going to work or staying busy,can keep you in somewhat shape, but in the prison system,not everyone gets a job. So it's out to the yard,where you will see hundreds of inmates,working out,in every possible way !.............As for myself, I had to change, cause if I didn't, I'd be back in prison,doing the rest of my twenty,plus whatever other charges I would of racked up !..........My plan to stay out,was not to get comfortable in prison,so no cards games,no chess,no working out, but instead, work on me ! Well, I did it,I changed and am free !.................But,my point is,getting out,at my age & going back to doing carpentry & painting,being so outta shape,was a fucking bitch, I weighed 164 lbs,( not sure how many stone that is)...................ahhh, the price we pay for freedom,is dear
