Have you ever been in jail? I have. As a matter of fact, I'm currently serving a life sentence in Nebraska. When I was 18 years old, I was dumb enough to go along with a plan to rob a convenience store. Tragically, the clerk was accidentally shot and didn't make it.

I came to be incarcerated during the Covid lockdowns. My (adopted) city, Chicago, was in the thick of things during this time. I got a little carried away and continued my 'looting'. That brings me to now. Sitting in segregation (well, standing actually, as I stand to write on the empty Top Bunk in my cell due to no desk for me to use) writing my first Blog entry.
