so he said she s a miracle baby. that s what he says. cowin and his parents helped raise the baby for the first year, but eventually all parties decided she would be better off with alexandria mcbride s parents. what s up, man? what s going on? all right. as for cowin and lara, they wound up in the same housing unit, and rather than compete for mcbride s affections, they ve become friends instead. yeah. whose daughter is she? talk to me about that. well, you know, that s my daughter, all right. but it s a chance that it might be his daughter, too, right? but if he s she has his last name, and he s been taking care of, who am i to speak or even say anything? but there are no hard feelings between you two? me and him? not at all, man. if anything i m looking forward to i ll kick it with
our father and from the lord jesus christ. amen. that s based on ephesians there. during this stay at the jail cowin can t help but to also have thoughts about another former girlfriend who s currently doing time in the female wing. she was there for me, man. like solid. couldn t be no more solid than her, you know. alexandria mcbride says cowin is the father of her daughter. jake. that s like the first guy i ever loved. that was a crazy life. we do have a lot of memories of what happened. what happened? he went to prison for five years. i shot somebody at a bar. it was self-defense pretty much. it was a fight that got out of hand. and the dude pulled a knife, cut me, i pulled my gun out and shot him, right? everybody told on me. they all sung. right? i was like, man, what? she said it was hard for her, whatever, right? and she split. and pretty much dogged me, you know. couple years later he got out.
it makes me feel like [ bleep ] because i i guess i just do those things to cover up what i m doing because some of the time some of the things i do, i want to get high too. i mean, okay, i used to use the excuse i was young, but it s kind of like old now because i m not that young anymore, and, you know and i don t know. i don t want to talk about it anymore because i m getting mad because i the class strives to help mcbride become a more responsible parent. an objective made even more important by the fact that the father of her 5-year-old daughter is also incarcerated at santa rita. but there s still some question as to who exactly the father is. jacob cowin is serving 75 ys for battery and vandalism. trinidad lara, who goes by trino, is serving 90 days for a parole violation. to this day neither is certain which one of them is the father.
i remember talking to her on the phone, and she told me that she was pregnant, and she was going to have an abortion. i go, you didn t tell me you were pregnant, and now you re going to have the kid because i wouldn t want anything to do with you if you had an abortion. in the meantime, she also found somebody else. i claimed the kid really right because when i got her, she was with this other cat. you know, and like i kind of snatched her from him. you know, we were together while she was still with him, and there was some snake [ bleep ] really like my part. whatever, right? despite the men s uncertainty, mcbride says the father is jacob cowin. were you with trino when you met jake? come on. there s something going on there. tell me. yeah. but trino was in jail. he had gotten in a car crash and he like lost his memory or something, and like he didn t remember who i was. i was in a high-speed chase
why don t you read it to me. oh, armando. come on, read it to me, man. read it to me. i wrote it. tell me how it sounds. paul begins the letter to the ephesians by stating who he is. cowin has had numerous stays at santa rita over the past several years. not all the charges stuck. but one of his stays was the precursor to a five-year prison sentence he served after shooting and wounding another man in a bar fight. this time he s serving 75 days for battery and vandalism. according to police reports, he broke his girlfriend s door during an argument and punched her numerous times in the face and head. i only know how to do one thing, and it ain t good. you know? so it s like what is it? it s bad. just trouble. and the thing is trouble was getting me in trouble, you know what i mean? it s like my whole life i just did all the wrong thing. you know, it s like i was just good at being bad. in verse 2, grace and peace are introduced as being from god
