That Junky Itch

My homie, Kyle is on corrections for sale and distribution of methamphetamine. Hes currently doing a short stretch at Hutchinson state correctional institute. It's a four month program we call the 120 quick dip.

Basically when u fuck up on corrections your first major fuck up gets you sent to prison for 120 days, after that if you can't toe the line they send u back to prison to serve the sentence that was suspended during sentencing when you made a deal for corrections.

Kyles underlying is seven years and in Kansas getting good time means at most you serve 85% of your time. I suck at math, but I know its gotta be at least six years.

Kyle is not just my homie, he's my girls little brother, her kids uncle, so his incarceration weighs heavily on the minds of my girl and I, as well as the rest of his family.

I've written him a couple letters and he's written a few back. Hes OK, gave me a web address so I could set up an inmate account where I can email him and put some cash on his books.

I check it every day but he's still not in the system. I don't have much money to spare, but I know how much better time in jail goes by when you have a few creature comforts. Plus I know if I give him a jump start he'll keep it going.

I know the only chance that Kyle will stay clean and out of prison is for me to stop shootin dope. Just not getting high around him won't do it, he'd know and that junkie itch would demand to be scratched.
