True calling

karlis — Thu, 06 Jan 2005 00:00:00 -0800

Two months in jail has not deterred me from my true calling.
On August 19, I was sent to jail on a three month sentence for passing a joint. After working six hours Monday to Friday as the "front administration cleaner" in the Saskatoon Correctional Centre, I earned 30 days off my 92-day sentence for passing a joint. 62 days cleaning toilets for the man! Over pot! Harsh.
