New Year's Eve

I realize that people like to yell to ring in the new year. Everywhere, prisons and jails are the same. In New York's Time Square, people watch the Ball drop as the seconds tick into the new year and scream at the top of their lungs while fireworks cover the sky. In prisons and jails, you hear the rattling and banging of cell bars & shouting from those who wish they could have cherished their freedom.

I look forward to screaming my lungs out next year as I stand beneath a fireworks-decorated sky.
