Red: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit. |

Red: I feel regret every day. Not because I'm in prison, or because you think I should. I think about on the way I was then, a stupid young man who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk explain reality to him, to tell him the way things are. But I can't. That young man has been gone for a long time and this old man is all that's left. I've got to live with that. Am I rehabilitated? It's just a nonsense word. So you go on and mark my application for parole "rejected," young man* and stop wasting my time. Because to be honest, I don't care at all. *"Sonny" is a disrespectful term for him to use with an adult |

Andy: I love rocks and minerals. At least I did before I was a prisoner. I would like to have that as my hobby again in a small way. |
