(NEW YORK) Kevin Strickland spent his 62nd birthday behind bars. It’s the 43rd time he has spent a birthday in prison and says he desperately hopes it will be his last.
“I was determined to spend this birthday as awake as I could,” he told ABC News in an exclusive interview. “You never know if it’s going to be your last one.”
“I think I’ve been destroyed,” Strickland went on to say. “I ve been placed in an environment where I had to adapt to living with all sorts of confessed criminals. The way I see things now is not normal, I would think, for somebody in society.”
