understood how I felt after doing 9 years for everyone officers and inmatees have been very understanding about the whole matter. Mr Scafati came to see me also and he told me not to lose faith so I can now see that officers are not against me personal, it took me 9 years to see that for they have been treating me good since I have been in population
