Wow! It's been a long time since I wrote anything here. I have been busy, but I am not sure what I've been doing. Okay, so I do know. I am totally hooked on this show on the National Geographic Channel called Lockdown. It's all about different prisons.



I love this show! I don't know what it is about watching people in a prison and hearing about their crimes that interests me. I remember when I was younger, my sister and I had a short-lived love for true-crime books. I suppose it is similar to my grandmother watching all of her crime scene shows and such. If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching it. The stories are sad, interesting, and sometimes uplifting. I have seen men released after being in prison longer than I've been alive. I have watched women dealing with giving birth in prison and reaching out to children they might lose. Stories about gang relations and how so many are reluctant to give up those ties because they will die if they do. This is a totally different world than mine. I love taking a peek inside.
