so this is the ramsey county workhouse, correctional facility. i got to spend about 8 months of my life here. after the judge had heard both sides-- my lawyers, the cops, the detectives, the evidence, everything--and she heard my final plea of "please don't put me away for a long time becau i will become something else," she believed me. and she allowed me to take the minimum sentence, which was a year and, uh, nearly 30 years probation. you did push ups. you did pull ups. you played cards. you played dominoes. you watched some tv. but you were in a room with 40 guys all day. had those mistakes not happened and had i not been caught, who knows if i would have been doing it 5, 6, 7 years later and gone deeper into it. the penalties at that point would have been, you know, something at i wouldn't havbeen able to come back from. this was my lesson. i mean, after this, my life changed. i mean, maybe it took me a few years to realize that i was a changed person, but i think since then, you see the difference in me and the fact that i--that was my turn
