I didn't see the ink until she flipped the paper over and her face turned white.  As she looked up at me with genuine fear in her eyes, I glanced down, and my heart stopped as I saw that someone had written on the back of the deposit slip, "give me the money, i have a gun".

    What do you do when faced with a situation like that?  My jaw dropped.  I tried to form the words... some explanation, but I couldn't do it.  My mind was screaming at me to say something, anything that would stop this madness, but as she loaded both small and large bills into an empty bag while still trying to keep one eye on me, I just stood there frozen, unable to make that connection to my mouth that I so badly needed.  "I only want to deposit my paycheck!" my mind screamed.  But the words never came out.

    As she pushed the now full bag at me, my legs turned and ran for the entrance.   I was so relieved that some part of me still worked that I didn't think twice as I ran for it, watching the sunlight come closer.  I burst through the doors, knocking an elderly couple into the bushes as I ran for my car.

    I didn't make it far.   A few miles away everything came crashing down on me as I realized I had turned over my driver's license with the deposit slip.  I pulled over to the side of the road to wait and it only took a few minutes for the cops to catch up.  They came from everywhere, and I knew life as I knew it was over.

    Whether I really had a gun or not didn't matter to the jury, I was railroaded through our justice system and given 25 years with no chance at parole.   Now I'm stuck in here with murderers, rapists, and thieves, all because I chose not to use direct deposit.

(cracks up)..... awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww steve i shouldn't laugh... such a tragic tale of misguided banking... awwww i shall look at you in a whole new light now.... thank you for sharing... lol

wow, some disturbed people in this prison :O lmao

the reason im in here isnt that bad, it was all down to me not thinkin before my actions,,,,

so it all started of with money problems

i was 13 years old and lived with my girlfriend in the hallway of a block of flats in cardiff

my girlfriend was pregnant and i had 20 pence to my name ( for the american players on here, that is less than a dollar)

i decided i had to take action..

as i walked down the stairs of the block of flats, i saw a crackhead sat in the corner, i pulled by knuckle dusters out and threatend him,

i asked him nicely for all of his money and his drugs, he threw me 50 pence and some coke, and just hid under his blanket, i thaught wow how easy was that, so i caried on down the stairs and saw another crackhead in the corner, when i threated him he just gave me a dirty look,

so i hit him across the face with my dusters, his jay shaterd and he droped all his coke, by the time i got to the bottom of the flats i had about 20 pounds of coke, so i went to my local dealer and oferd it all to him for £50 (about 25 dollars i think)

he acepted the deal and gave me some extasy to get me goin with my new drug dealin job,

i had aranged a deal with someone down a alyway,

i was sat down waitin for him to arive when the crackhead i had takin the drugs and money off come round the corner, i laughed at his angerd face, he just grunted and the next thing about 10 crackheads come round the corner behind him with guns and knifes n bassball bats, i pulled my knife and dusters out and stood up, the main crackhead hit me so i stabbed him 3 times he fell to the floor dead,

another came runnin towards me i splitt his head open with my dusters

i took his bassball bat of him n put my dusters away i ran towards the guy with the gun and splaterd his head with the bat, and took the gun, i shot all of the crackheads that were left standin

as i walked round the corner a cop stoped me, he wanted to do a random check for drugs but after what i had just done i automaticaly shoved the knife into him, i started cryin as it hit me that i had killed alot of people and would have to kill more, i ran up the stairs of my flats, my eyes were streamin i triped up the stairs n broke my nose on the stairs, i finaly got up to my girlfriend, i kissed her on the forehead i gave her all the money i had made and told her i loved her, and told her to moove out of cardiff into a nicer area, i kissed her again and told her to tell the baybe every week of his or her life that i love them,, i walked down the stairs cryin my eyes out when i got outside there was cops everywhere

i pulled the gun out and shot the closest , but there was no bullets left , i heard a girls voice scream i love you!!

a bullet pierced my leg i fell to the floor, the cops rushed me n handcufed my feet together and my hands

they put me to sleep with a dart...

i woke up in a room with just a chair in

i had blood all over me i just fell to the floor thinkin my life was over...

after a while a man with a suit on walked in the door, he told me there was no way i would get away with what i done, he said i was in court in 2 hours because they didint want me in a normal jail i was hated to much,

2 cops walked in and picked me up, they chucked me in a room with water filled haflway up they shoved my head under the water and scrubed all the blood of me and took me to stitch my legs up, they made me go in the court naked

as soon as the judge read what i had done, he said, " i am sentecin you to life inprisonmeant

you will be put in New jersey prison, you will fend for yourself , you will get beat up alot, and after a while you will go into putnam prison, things will get worse for you, in the end u will end up in arizona, you will stay there most of the time,

but then you could end up in louisianna, you could even go further,, after about 70 years in these prisons you will be goin to hell where u might aswell call it a luxery compare to what your in for

and thats the only way you will be able to see your loves ones,

from hell to heaven..

Ive been in prison for nearly 2 months now,
