Written by Jacob Ibrag
The man in the white suit takes a sip of his
black coffee and readjusts his glasses, ‘says here you
rejected your own parole. You hiding from something?’ Getting
permission to stand in front of the guarded window, the prisoner bows
his head and releases a deep breath. ‘This place is safe. May not have all the
amenities of a free man, but these thick walls make up for that.’ Putting his pen
down, he asks the prisoner to elaborate, ‘are you trying to say that your life is
in danger?’ Walking back towards to his chair, he grips the sides of the
steel table and slams it into the man and directly into the wall.
Falling to his knees, the prisoner puts his hands behind
his head and prays for Gods forgiveness, ‘I need
to stay here. I am the danger.’
He sounds wounded by his own self.

i can feel for the man!
i am a using drug addict living on the streets, now itś not that i am afraid, only the times i do use?
i like to feel safe, main because there are those type of street people, whom just wait for people like me, (stating the fact that i don´t sell everything to get drugs) i just want to enjoy to the pleasure of lost control, itś the only time i can honestly be free…
So to feel safe at these time, is most important, however very hard to find…

But, realizing that he is a danger to himself and others is still just the first step, now, the prisoner must change his behaviors, in order, to become better adapted outside of the prison walls he’d lived in for so long…
