Life-Long Friends
The inmate in this story shared feelings that many first-time convicts feel. After receiving their sentence, this inmate describes being in complete terror regarding their time in prison ahead. Fortunately, in this case, that fear was completely unfounded.
Prison turned out to be nothing like this inmate expected. Rather than living in constant terror, they managed to not only live a fear-free life but also get away from their experience with some life-long friends. Those bonds will likely hold, too, since few can relate to what it is like to be locked up for more than a year.
