Prison life
We've heard that those in prisons,
All have televisions,
And we don’t expect it to be so sweet and nice.
But some prison visitors
Told us inquisitors
Few deserve to pay the awful price.
These words were also spoken
About the scared and broken,
By a man who sometimes works on the inside.
That a great per cent
Have bad mental health,
Or had substances on which they once relied.
