Fitted with an Ankle Monitor

 

No one wants to be fitted with an ankle monitor

Except for this man, selecting an ankle

No one wants to sign all sorts of government forms

Except for this man, signing those forms

 

No one wants to wait for hours in a lobby

Except for this man, waiting for hours

No one wants to pack three years into a paper bag

Except for this man

 

Who is one steel door, one concrete path, and two wire gates

Away from his mom in the parking lot
