"2008, Walking out the large prison doors, hearing the boom, made Shameek jump.  It never got easy to hear prison doors slam, but at least this time he was on the outside of them. Looking around he noticed how things had changed since he walked through the doors of Trenton State Prison 3.5 years ago.  This was Prison number 3 of a 9 year 8 months sentence.  Shameek grabbed the handle to the 2nd gate at last, swung it open and looked back, telling himself - I’m broke for time, can’t do this no more"
