I would always be there

for you and your sister.

Whatever was needed to be given,

I would give.

I would be at every little

league game, every school play.

any time you ever needed

me, I was there.

I don't know what it is

I didn't give you Jay,

where I went wrong.

JAY:

Dad, I...

JAY'S FATHER:

It doesn't matter now.

My son is going to prison for

three years for attempted murder

and there's nothing I can do

about it.

I need to take care of myself

now, you understand?

JAY:

Dad...

JAY'S FATHER:

Jay, please, get out of my car.

JAY (V.O.):

Dear Marty, One hundred eighty

days down,

only seven hundred

twenty more to go buddy.

Word is that old chain-gang

Charlie Crist is trying to do

away with time off

for good behavior,

JAY (V.O.):

Lord I hope not.

I mean you can not believe how

f***in' slow time passes in here

I'll just briefly try and

explain the sh*t hole I'm in.

JAY (V.O.):

You got rows and rows of

razor-wire surrounding

multiple blocks.

We're kept in open bay

dorms like army barracks.

Communal showers, bathrooms,

everything is shared.

JAY (V.O.):

It sucks.

I was in a five by seven for

a while but my custody level

was dropped due to good

behavior so now this where

they've stuck me.

Anyway I'm surviving.

Let me know if you want me to

add you to the visitation list.

Hope you're doing well brother,

write back.

JAY (V.O.):

Dear Marty, I hope

you are doing well sir,

being that I still haven't

received a letter from you.

I'm on day five sixty three

not like anybody is counting

or anything.

JAY (V.O.):

I've been enjoying my time

here on my state vacation,

most mornings I wake

up at around five am,

make my way to the chow hall

where I am privileged to a

nice quiet breakfast.

I mean you wouldn't believe

how crazy this place is Marty

We're constantly getting

shook down and harassed by

the guards.

JAY (V.O.):

These guys like my bunk mate

Oso make this homemade brew

called buck, It's

like 20% alcohol,

it's f***in' nuts.

You got a bunch of guys

walking around the dorm all

sh*t faced.

And I'm sure you think drugs

wouldn't be so easy to get in

JAY (V.O.):

here but they are.

These guys with some

assistance from crooked CO's,

smuggle dope in by

shoving it up their asses.

I'm sorry, that's where

I had to draw the line,

no ass dope for me.

JAY (V.O.):

Believe it or not, I got sober.

I started reading the

big book and attending AA,

identifying my

personal story,

JAY (V.O.):

I'm Jay Trotta. I'm an addict

and an alcoholic

and I tried to kill

someone.

It's really been a big help.

Due to the fact there is no

Air Conditioning anywhere on

this compound, I was able
