san antonio s bexar county jail is a fortress of brick, steel and razor wire. capable of housing up to 4500 men and women. some of the inmates here have been convicted and are serving short sentences. but most have only been charged with crimes and are awaiting trial with the resolution of their cases. then there are inmates like benny alonzo, he s been convicted of felony gun possession. in less than 24 hours, he will appear before a judge to learn his sentence. i ve been stressing a lot, too, though. i can t eat. i haven t ate lunch in three days already. do something, dog. i already know. alonzo will most likely be sentenced to state prison but it won t be the first time. how many times have you been incarcerated? oh, a couple of times.
to except that plea bargain and that just seems so un-american. you know what i mean? it s all meant to break your spirits and just knowing that makes it easier for me and i ll always say they ll never break my spirits because i know that s what they re trying to do. benny alonzo is struggling to keep his spirits up, but it is not due to the discomfort of jail. my heart aches and yearns, my head twists and turns. it yearns for the warmth of your touch, for the love of your kiss and your hugs. less than 24 hours earlier, alonzo appeared to be in court to be sentenced on the first of his charges. felony gun possession. he had hoped to see his girlfriend there but did not. the sentencing wasn t what bothered me the most, what bothered me the most was nobody was there. it just hit me and it hurt. kind of felt like i was abandoned. i was left by myself. i guess it s because me and my girl were close, fool. i really wouldn t think she would do that to me.
