Answer:
Today marks the fifth year of my imprisonment. I have been here for so long, and yet it feels like only yesterday that I was sentenced to life in prison.
At first, when they told me what would happen if I didn't plead guilty or accept a plea bargain, all hope seemed lost - but now things are different. Over these past five years, something inside has changed; instead of feeling despair at being locked away from society forevermore with no chance of parole or freedom ever again – there is an acceptance within me that this may be where fate intended for me to end up after all those wrongs committed by myself and others around us during The Bet days..
I still feel sadness over not having any contact with family members outside these walls anymore as well as missing out on opportunities which could've come had circumstances been different back then…but overall there's also a sense peace knowing that even though justice wasn’t served through traditional means- some form closure can be found right here behind bars too . Life goes on without you sometimes ,and although its hard accepting such harsh realities–it doesn’t mean one cannot find solace elsewhere either …
