That last bit of information is one of the reasons why I decided to pen this piece. You see on the day that I arrived to the camp that’s part of the Atlanta facility, I discovered that every man in the compound knew the details of my incarceration.
In the final analysis, I decided to just keep a low profile and avoid interaction.įunny how plans don’t work out the way you think they will. “Should I butch it up? Can I pass myself of as straight?” I remember thinking to myself. Worse, I feared that because I was a gay man, I’d be an easy target for abuse. The thought of going to prison scared the living crap out of me.
I was given time to prepare and get my personal affairs in order (usually 60-90 days) and was ordered to self-surrender on October 12, 2005.
