The Drama Trap

See, on the inside, she moves completely differently.

She keeps to herself.

She doesn't broadcast our business, and she stays as far away from the compound drama as humanly possible.

And that's to say that people are saying, she's keeping your relationship secret.

You know, she's a bad person.

But that's her nature.

She understands the prison culture.

And for her, she keeps to herself.

And she tells me that constantly.

I mainly sit in the room.

I don't talk to a lot of people.

And she just doesn't share anything.

And if you watch YouTube videos on people who have been incarcerated and they're giving you advice on what to do when you get in there...

One of them is just keep to yourself.

Keep pictures of your family, your friends, your loved ones to yourself.

Don't broadcast any relationships that you have or any business that you're doing.

And that does make sense.

you know, for the people on the inside.

But for us, it's different out here.

And they're torn away from the normality that we take for granted.

You know, naturally, people... from the outside, especially ex-cons and folks who think they've seen it all, tell me, watch out.

She isn't talking about you.

She's using you.

She's going to bounce the second she hits the gate.

It's easy to let those comments get in your head, but to understand why someone chooses silence on the inside, you have to understand the environment they're trapped in.
