Groundhog Day

Being in prison is like Groundhog Day. You find yourself waking up in the same place every day. So why not surprise yourself and learn something new to improve yourself along the way. Most people will come to prison and see themselves as trapped, and they'll just do what it takes to get by, which is one of the main issues with the system (the groundhog day theory). There are, however, so many paths it can lead you down. Some people can be dragged into worse crim than they were before. People can linger, bide their time and not change at all. Or you can see it how it is, and how I see it. Improve your body, go to the gym and eat better; get your body the way you want it to be and then look after it. You can improve your mind and gain knowledge; you can always learn something new, so go and do it and learn something new about yourself in the process. You can learn new jobs in here, gain new skills, do an Open University course, go to the library and teach yourself history or anything...
