I spent 10 years in jail. For a large part of that I socialized mainly with those who had committed murder. Some had committed more than one.

Most of the murderers I met are some of the nicest people I ever met (if you can temporarily disregard their crime). People are not defined by their worst mistake.

I am in very regular contact with many of them as they work their way through the system. Some of them have life sentences without parole, which is a hard pill to swallow.

I think my autobiography will be titled "All my friends are murderers."




I hope you make friends with a non murderer one day.
