In this video, I count down 10 ordinary things free people take for granted every single day, from a quiet bedroom to a metal fork on a diner table. I'll tell you why I slept with my apartment key squeezed in my fist for a whole week after release. You'll learn what it does to a man to go decades without hearing his own first name, or seeing a single star in the night sky. Everything I say here is real — no stories, no exaggeration, just what life inside actually takes from you. If you've never been locked up, this is the closest look you'll get at what freedom really means. And if you want the 40 rules that kept me alive in there and keep me out of trouble out here, the link is right above.
