A memo is going up today informing the
inmate population that the yard will now be open from 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM only.
In essence they will no longer be having the yard open at night. As soon as
word gets out, there is going to be a huge uproar from all the inmates that
work. We who actually have regular working hours will never have recreation or
yard time. Most of us are at work around 6:00 AM and not usually back to the yard
until 3:30 0r 4:00 PM.
For me, I will have to completely
change my schedule. It sucks because there is a lot I can get done outside in
the evenings. I am used to having wrenches thrown into my plans, but most
inmates rely on consistency. That in mind, I know there will be a lot of
headaches to come soon.
A part of me wonders if this is a
sign? I have been mulling over writing a book for some time now and maybe this
is the time. There are a few obstacles within this plan though. Ideally, I
would prefer to give up my job and dedicate myself to writing the book. But I
am also on the fence when it comes to subject matter of the book.
Some ideas
that have been presented to me are as follows:
1. How to
prison guide
2. A gay man’s
prison manual
3. Essays on
the pen pals that I have met throughout
4. Basic
memoir
For whatever reason, #3 is getting the
most support from the friends and family that I have run these ideas by. If
anyone would like to add their 2 cents, then please feel free. I would
genuinely love to hear people’s thoughts on the matter.
