When I was at the NPR site I looked at the audio of a person in prison. His name is John Mills and he is serving 7-9 years in prison for committing over 75 armed robberies. He is 21 now and still has about 3 years to go. In his story he talks about what prison is really like. He has became very lonley and misses his old life. He said whenever he would rob someone or something he would always get a thrill out of it. It was the thing gave him excitement. He said one of the hardest things all is missing the girls. He said even homosexual people miss the girls. Just someone to hold and to hol him is all he wants. Its funny, when john was a kid he dreames of being a police officer, but now he is putting a gun in peoples faces and is in jail. This story really made me think how well i have it and how I could lose it easily. I think people need to really think of the consequences before they act. Your actions could really mess up your life if you are not carefull. If you want to read or listen to John Mills complete story here is the link.

man this is crazy, i was watching the TV show locked up and there were some crazy things on there much like this...
What I want to know is why people do this. He knew that he could get caught and put into prison. If he wanted to be a police when he grew up why did he choose to rob people. Some people I know do something like stealing because someone pressures them into doing it. But I still don't know why anyone would choose to ruin their future for some little thing. Why do you think some one would commit any crime? Why would they want to ruin their future and the future of friends and family if they had the choice?

Some one very close to me was put in jail.I was young,and missed them alot.I couldn't go see him because the setting he was in.I would make him Christmas cards and send him things.I was his key to the outside.They have learned their lesson ,and tells others not to do what they did.
