“A friend once asked me how I would describe jail to someone who had never been. ‘It’s like being forced to live at the Motor Registry,’ I told him. ‘There are lots of rules that no one really understands, there’s queues for everything, and everyone is either angry, bored, tired, or a combination of all three.”

“I learned that the darkness doesn’t end at the gates of the jail. You carry something away with you from an experience like prison, and if you try to ignore it, it festers. It’s far better to take it out into the light, deal with it, dismiss what you can, and learn to manage the rest.”

“In the time between being fired and going to prison, I had a large jar next to my bed that was filled with little post-it notes. I called it my grateful jar and each night before I slept, I stopped and thought about my day, and wrote down something I was truly grateful for. I started the jar in the midst of this ridiculous self-inflicted crisis and today I still find things to be grateful for almost every day.”
