The handcuffs burned my wrists as I was marched into my new home.
The guards were rough with me, shoving me along, and prodding me with their sticks whenever I hesitated. They treated me like I was an animal.
How could I expect better treatment, though?
Wasn't I a murderer?
God, how did it come to this?
I was 19 years old, and my life was over.
Actually, my life ended on the night of my 18th birthday. To celebrate, my friends and I all got fake ID's and went to a strip club. It was a kick. Just something to do. My coming out party.
Geez. I had never even seen a naked man before. But I liked what I saw. And I wanted to see more.
It was also the first night I ever drank a Long Island Iced Tea.
I had five of them.
On the drive home, I smashed into a minivan carrying the Martinez family home from a visit to their grandmother. Two of the kids died. The mother died. One of my best frends died. And another was crippled.
That's when I became a murderer.
And that's why I was going to spend at least the next ten years in the Washington Correctional Institute For Women.....
