Tony was a cool dude!

He did his prison chores, and didn't whine like most do. He got cable TV, ping pong, pool table, three squares, and gym equipment.

Tony and I had an understanding. He respected me, and I respected him. There were times when an asshole needed a beat-down. Tony gladly provided that service. Tony knew that I had to write a report, and he respected my role in the department of corrections.

When Tony was two weeks from the "gate" I pulled him to the side. I told him that I was happy about his release, and wondered what his plans were.

He looked me in the eye and said: " My plan is to go back to prison."


He got his wish, and he cut his girlfriend's head off.
