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.
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
and i crashed on thornton avenue going up the freeway on the wrong way of the freeway. i guess they said there was money and dope all over the freeway. and i woke up eight days later in a coma. i woke up here in the clinic in santa rita. it took me about close to a month to remember her because my memory i had lost my memory. meanwhile, mcbride asked cowin to accompany her to get an abortion. but things did not go as planned. mcbride was on the back of cowin s motorcycle and had all their money in a backpack. my gas light pops on. so i m like i get off to get some gas. i get off the bike, she s still on the bike. i go and the backpack s open. so the money flew out, right? i m like, man, i m hella mad, right, because it wasn t just that money, right? it was all my money, right? how much? you know, i mean, it was like i can t tell you to the dollar amount, but it was a little bit, you know? like $1,800. he was going like 140 on the freeway.

and sometimes it can be way up there that it s no way it s going to come out for a couple days or they have to fish around and find it themselves. mcbride says this time she hasn t smuggled or used drugs in jail, but still struggles with another issue. reconnecting with her two children, who are currently in the care of her parents. my son wants to see me, you know what i m saying. it s not like that he it s like that s what he that s why mom and dad said it s so emotional for him because it s like my son will cry every time i leave or he ll throw a fit and then he ll act funny for a whole day or two, something like that. so my dad doesn t want i guess that s understandable. i know you don t want him to go through that. but my son wants me, you know? how can you deny him of that? and then i think that s probably why i get high a lot, too, i just try to void it all out. and that s why i run to the streets and do what i do, because then when you get high and [ bleep ] you lose
