Another spectacular sunrise met the blistering cold morning – Yes, I was up early again for breakfast, which was all the milk, donuts, and oatmeal that you could eat (I had a healthy portion though). The Admissions & Orientation (A&O) consists of meeting with several departments. After breakfast, I was…

I barely slept in anticipation of having a decent spot in line. Around 5:30 am, I sprung from my bunk and bundled up putting on all the clothing that was issued to me. At 6:00 am, our dorm was called to the store and these guys started running, it was…

Today was a novel day – I woke up in time for breakfast at 6:10 am. Handed two instant coffees with sweetener (apparently sugar is not permitted in Morgantown lol) with a glob of oatmeal, warm glazed donut, an orange, and as much skim milk (served in grade school cafeteria…

Today is Sunday, and it the first Sunny Day since I’ve been here. While it is still as cold as Pluto here, to see the sun has been quite the gift this morning. It is now about 20 degrees (wind-chill must be near 15 degrees) – a brief snow storm…

While I was researching “colleges” that I would anticipate attending, I had a really difficult time understanding what each location offered and how it operated. For this post, I’m going to focus on the accommodations and amenities here at FCI Morgantown, which are quite impressive to some degree. This section…

Whelp, it was certainly not a quiet night. The rowdy bus had visited my wing, which again apparently is known to be quite rambunctious at night. I am comparing my first night to last night which quite honestly was not too disruptive. I was encouraged to see a bunch of…

Okay, it was not a so quiet night last night – in fact, it was quite a bit louder than last night’s peace. We have a final count at 9:00 pm every night, which means that we must stand attentive while two guards walk through each dormitory and official count…

After yesterday’s emotional turmoil and tumultuous travel, I slept very well, in fact too well. Oddly in a room with 60 guys, all criminals, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin-drop. Literally, no snoring, no talking, no movement, just peaceful serene quietness – it was a silent…

“Welcome to Morgantown” displayed a 2’x5′ white sign as I disembarked the small 8-seater single-engine Cessna. I took a flight from Washington/Dulles directly to probably the smallest airport in region, Morgantown. The flight was actually about 70 minutes long filled with quite the turbulence as we drifted from one snow…

Within the next 24 hours, I will be checking into the federal prison camp at Morgantown. I have a lot to prepare and ready before this adventure begins. To kick things off for this last 24 hours of freedom, I was in DC Circuit Court for a follow-up hearing to…
