Another one for Purgatory from an inmate.

I went down to the river and looked around
There wasn’t a single soul around
There should have been people all around
I was thrown to the ground

There was a boot on my head
I had an aching all through my head
It wasn’t caused by the boot on my head
I started to wish I had stayed in bed

I tried to look up but the boot held me firm
I tried to get up but I couldn’t even squirm
My hands were pulled behind my back
I almost had a panic attack

I was arrested that day
In that most unusual way
I went to jail the next day
I was sentenced to death the following day

Unusual you say
Nope just another day
In the life of a drug dealing gang banger that got put away

Wow! This is a good look from the other side. Wouldn't want to ever be a drug dealing gang banger!
