every inmate has his or her own challenges to overcome in prison. but one challenge that is common to just about everyone is the feeling that time has suddenly slowed down. except for occasional moments of sheer terror, life in prison howell! can be painfully monotonous. mengers! the same routine, people and surroundings. but ernest easley seemed to have it all figured out. you know, you as the person, it s not hard at all. i ve been in prison before and i ve been doing this back and forth in the system for a long time. it s what you make it. i liked ernest s honesty. he had a very kind demeanor about him. he had a lovely self-awareness
about him. and he had figured out a way to truly survive and actually thrive in prison. this is what i do. this is what i do. this is how i stay out of trouble. this is how i do my time. washing, ironing. when we met easley, he was doing time for robbery in what is considered one of the nation s toughest prisons. california state prison, corcoran. but you d never know it by talking to easley. i got it pretty good. it s all right. it s fine. this is something that i like doing, you know? it s kind of like a relaxation, you know? ernest had a legitimate job given to him by the administration in the kitchen, but he was smart in that he had figured out a way to have a little hustle on the side to make extra money. i usually charge, like a suit, a pair of pants is a suit, a shirt is a suit.
