Sleepless in Solano

I had two hours of sleep, but I wasn't tired. I did Pilates and meditated. I said a few prayers for the people involved in the altercation. I wished them well in solitary confinement and that they would learn their lesson.

Though my heart was at peace, I couldn't help but stay on guard. Someone could attack me while I'm sleeping. That was the thought in every black & Asian's mind. Most people slept with their boots and clothes on. Yet, they were not sleeping.

Anything could happen in prison. Every action creates a ripple effect. One minute everything seems fine and dandy, the next minute, chaos breaks out without any warning.

Some days we are sound asleep, other days we are sleepless.

Life in prison - prison dictates lives.
