I can honestly say, and to many people's surprise, that going to prison was one of the best things to happen to me. While separated from any opportunity to be productive or any possibility to contribute to my family, I began to really understand the cliche "Failing to plan is planning to fail." I finally realized that the absence of any goals or direction or ambition in my life was what directly lead to me landing squarely on the shore of the Island of Failure.
