"The core concern for any human being that is incarcerated can only be to survive. Different people will go about that different ways. What I always found interesting was the rapidity under which many would feel the unwavering desire to need to re identify themselves. Often times I would see one who presented themselves as a Soldier / Soldado in times of peace & tranquility. These same men would suddenly find a change in their hearts when it was apparent battle , war or conflict were on the horizon. Suddenly we would not see them at unlock. A celly would report they went to medical and just never returned. Battle is a funny thing. There are many variables and outcomes possible. One is foolish not to prepare & train. One is equally foolish to think he can control every situation. I remember my first ride across the bridge to RC and intake. I rode with another who had been inside the walls previously and he was reassuring me that I was more than prepared to meet any challenges that we would face. Years later on another case I sat in my counties main jail trying to prepare another youngster for his first ride across the bridge to RC. I assured him his size, case type, commitment and sentence were all things that would allow him to land safely in RC. Told him he had nothing to worry about. You touchdown, you report, you fall in line. I was pretty sure he would be ok. The guy never even made it out of R & R without locking it up. Sometimes the fear of the unknown is too great. Rascal this was a great breakdown on the Flowers. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to these videos. Slide me an email address somehow so we can connect."
