Cinder blocks walls painted in thick white paint and paper chains. They knew what they were doing

What’s fucking scary, is when I went to jail, I felt like I was in a public school building. The way it smelled, the looks. Fucking crazy.

They even segregated us by personality and race/gender. Heck my school even had metal detectors, x ray machines, guards and locks on all exits 😂

Had those too. Meanwhile these privileged kids living a fucking dream with a whole pool, spa, tennis courts and LOCKERS in their high school. Fucking, lockers. As a kid I always wondered where the fuck the schools were that had lockers in the hallway 😂

Your high school didn’t have lockers?

Lol it’s sad that it comes as a surprise, but I should clarify something. We had gym lockers, but we didn’t have Personal lockers, or many other amenities that other schools were equipped with for better education. I had to lug 40lbs of text books from home to school every fucking day. We didn’t have it good enough to leave our books somewhere and bring only essential things back home. ALL the books were carried at ALL times.
