I spent my first three weeks there on a wing with 21 murderers. I met some very evil people there but also some men who'd had no upbringing, no chance in life.
Very few people deserted me when I went to prison. They stayed loyal.
I learnt a lot about myself, I learnt a lot about other people and the problems they have. If I was lucky enough to live to a hundred, how I will feel about two per cent of my life being that way, I don't know.
Sixty per cent of people entering prison today are illiterate.
Some people standby you in your darkest hour while others walk away; only a select few march towards you and become even closer friends.
