But there's trouble everywhere e everywhere in in jail. People are hustling. People are up to whatever that
00:00:05
they're doing. So yeah, you're sort of exposed to that. And at the age of 15,
00:00:10
16, you're soaking it all in. You know, you're like a little sponge. It's like a
00:00:14
university for that. >> Just soaking all that information in, taking it all on board. And you know
00:00:20
what's crazy is like you think you go to jail to be rehabilitated. So when you
00:00:25
get out of jail, you become a better person. But in fact, it's not the case at all. You come out in a way worse uh
00:00:34
uh condition than what you went in. Say you've only gone in for stem and the
00:00:37
lollipop. You're soon going to learn how to cook meth and everything else >> while you're in there. M.
