"Mountain" / Life / Assault, Battery, Murder / He keeps to himself, but has been known to defend new guys if they are particularly young. He'll look up at the sky even if a concrete wall is in the way.
"Thinker" / 50 years / Robbed a bank / Misses his wife every minute of the day. Even though he's brilliant, he's sorry he was so stupid. Thinker doesn't think about escaping anymore.
"Pecker-Head" / Life / Assault, Battery, Murder, Robbery, Fraud, Possession, Trafficking, etc. / Pecker-Head is perpetually angry. The guards don't go near him unless they have a taser. Other inmates just stay away. Mountain is his only friend.
Recreation.
Marilyn is not remembered. Not really.
Suddenly gone.
The truth is nearly weightless, yet it carries us to the afterlife.

I wanted to laugh and cry, both! Hilarious. Heartbreaking. Your outlook is unique indeed.
Pecker head. ::Snort::
Dude, you're kind of funny...
Thanks for sharing this: it made me smile and think in equal measure.
I laughed, but it was sad, too.
I'm so glad I was able to find that place that is joy on one side and sorrow on the other. Those emotions are so close. Thanks for your comments, friends.
