QUOTES

Kyle: "The pipe went in my mouth, all I did was inhale. And I remember, when I blow out that crystal meth smoke for the first time, I blew out everything that was instilled in me as a child. All my love, all my morals, all my respect; everything that was good instilled in me came out with that smoke. Instantly, I became an addict." 

Kyle: "I remember looking at my skin and noticing that I was losing my pigmentation 'cause I never see outside. I never feel the warmth of the sun anymore. I didn't even know if it was night time or day time, because the light was on 24 hours in the cell. I didn't know if it was raining, I didn't know if it was sunny, I didn't know if it was cloudy, I didn't know nothing. All I know is I was in a 7x7 blacked out cell, losing my mind." 

Kyle: "Before I went to prison, my heart that is in my body was like a tilled garden. It had no weeds, was well-manicured, had rocks around them nice, with one rose inside. That's how my heart was before I went to prison. But now I'm in prison, I gotta do things that is not me. If I gotta go up to that one guy and punch him in his face to avoid three guys jumping me, I'm sorry bruh I'm gonna punch you in the face bruh. And every time I would do something like that, I'm planting weeds in my heart."

Kyle: "She was driving down the road and I stick my head out the window and I could feel the wind on my face. I tasted freedom and it was a beautiful taste. I got released on prison with prison shoes, prison shorts, and a prison shirt, that's it. Not one cent to my name, but I came home saved."
