Had a super scary dream about getting sent to prison for no reason. They didn't even charge me with anything, and there wasn't really any reason for me to be there, but once you're in the carceral system it is very difficult to get out, even if you're there by mistake.
And this was all on the day I was supposed to take an important licensing exam, so not only was I in prison, I no showed for the exam.
It was children's prison, too. The dream prison officials decided I was probably a minor and put me in juvenile prison where, in the dream at least, you are not entitled to legal representation because eff them kids.
The only bright spot was the friend who visited and brought me books.
I think the moral of the story, aside from obvious criticisms of the prison system, is to consider kicking a couple bucks to the Inside Books Project.
