I Was in Prison

By Rich

A friend asked if I was scared to perform on Rikers Island, so I wrote this:

...the closest I came to being scared was when I offered to play basketball with them because they had an odd number of guys who wanted to play. I didn't want them to have to rotate into the game. I told the fellow who wa...
