Introduction God granted my prayer. On February 28, 2002, the court found that I was wrongly accused and absolved me of any involvement in the crime. After staying in jail for six years, nine months, and four days, I was a free man again. I wasted no time in gathering the materials for this book. I visited the Jail again and again to draw up the experiences of other inmates, jail officers, volunteers, and even visitors. I put together their stories, shook off the fear that crept and lingered in my heart during the whole time that I was in prison, and wrote this book. I could not help but smile as I tried to illustrate the strategies and structures that my fellow inmates and I devised to survive the rigors of life inside, and cried as I attempted to make sense of the things that lured the feeble among us into further destruction. I offer this book to all of you who dream of a better world. I dedicate this to all those who see a ray of hope in spite of the wretchedness of the situation they are in. I present this to all the persons behind bars to show them that there is dignity in every experience, no matter if distressing, given the right perspective. This book is a celebration of freedom. This book is my freedom. Raymund E. Narag February 28, 2005 vii
