July 30

This seemed like a long day.  I do want to get away from here for a while.  It’s time for a change.  But I think it would be a good idea to come back here to finish my parole.  Tomorrow will be my last full day here and I don’t expect to get a good nights sleep because the guys will want to torture me.

My last day here has finally come.  I’ll be leaving with mixed feelings.  It’s good that I’m moving ahead but then it hardly seems worth taking parole after I’ve already served nine of thirteen months and the parole will go on for eleven months.  I will have to put a lot of thought into this before I accept full parole.  My time here hasn’t been unpleasant.  I’ve met a lot of good guys, though I’ve nothing good to say about the administration.  Hopefully, my story will come out in the papers.

No writing this day.  Reg was released from the Correctional Facility to stay in a Rehab facility, but under controlled care, with drug testing, and strict rules.
