In Middle school and High school i played in a band. I was really good at playing the saxophone. After graduation i remember screwing up. It was my third strike i had to go to jail. I do not remember what i had done. I was imprecatious to the judge because he sent me to Alcatraz which so happens to be one of the worst prisons here on planet Earth. For the first few days i was static i did not want to eat i did not want to interact with anyone. Every night i dreamed of dressing up in my clown suit and playing the saxophone. Inside of Alcatraz i had a job and my job was to work in the kitchen. I cleaned the dishes after meals. I helped to prepare meals for the next day. Being in Alcatraz was execrable i did not think i could survive it. After i was settled in Alcatraz i made a friend and his name was John Anglin, he was in here for armed Robbery and multiple prison breaks. He did not seem like all that bad of a guy. He was extremely pedestrian he kept to himself for the most part.
