His relationship with Michel is complex,marked by power dynamics and occasional signs of empathy amidst strict discipline.
I was released from prison on August 16, 1999.
I had served six years of a seven-year sentence for armed robbery.
My father was in prison when I was released.
He was serving a life sentence for murder.
I didn't cry when I left prison.
I didn't feel happy, either.
I just felt empty.
The first thing I did when I left the prison was take a drink of water from a fountain.
It tasted better than any water I had had in the last six years.
Then I used the bathroom and flushed the toilet.
It was nice to have a toilet that you didn't have to hold the door open with your foot while you used it because it wouldn't stay open by itself.
I didn't wipe myself, because there wasn't any toilet paper.
The first time I had used the bathroom in prison, I had been surprised that there wasn't any toilet paper.
A C.O. had laughed and told me that I was new, that I didn't know the score yet.
I push through the heavy metal doors of the front entrance.
My steps are slow and hesitant on the cracked concrete.
The morning sun hits my face like a physical force, making me squint and shield my eyes with my hand.
My skin tingles under the direct sunlight - no fence or barred windows filtering it anymore.
The warmth seeps into my bones, different from the stale heat of the prison yard.
A breeze carries the scent of cut grass and exhaust fumes from the nearby highway.
My legs feel weak, unsteady on the open ground.
I shield my eyes from the glare and scan the prison parking lot, looking for any sign of life.
About a quarter mile down the access road, I see a bus stop sign.
It's my only option for getting out of here.
I take my first steps on the asphalt, feeling the rough texture under my prison-issued shoes.
The $200 release check is heavy in my pocket, along with the worn paper listing halfway houses and job programs.
A transport van passes by, kicking up dust and making me cough.
My legs, used to pacing small spaces, feel rubbery on the open road.
Each step takes deliberate effort, like learning to walk again.
I reach the bus stop and wait, knowing that this is just the beginning.
