When I served jail time, there were a few things that got me through: family/friend/recovery support, God, and James Patterson books. Out of all the terrible things about jail, I’d say the worst was boredom. Think about going a full day without your phone, social media, Netflix, etc. Now picture that for a year, living only inside your house with no fresh air - with only a deck of cards and some books. That’s about how boring it is. Thankfully, my family sent me a lot of books through the mail and I probably read every book Patterson wrote. Sometimes I have to remind myself where I came from so I don’t take all the blessings I have today for granted. Reading James Patterson books does that for me. I still love reading today, but his books especially mean something to me - even though they are probably the most simple, basic, detective mystery books ever created 😂
