I went to prison today because of work today.

No, I did not hit a kid or pull a Michael Jackson on anyone. In Monopoly terms, I was 'just visiting.' I went as part of a toy giveaway program the Contra Costa Sheriff runs for underprivillaged kids. The Marsh Creek Detention Center is a pretty low security prison (they didn't even search me when I entered). Some of the inmates participate in a special woodshop class that makes toys for Christmas. I go and take a look at their stuff and let them know what toys would be useful for our group. I especially liked the maple lock picking set. Just kidding, but I have to admit their woodworking skills could be put into use to make some mad movie props.

I was actually a little late getting there, so I was using some of my Jeff Gordon skills. I was worried about getting pulled over by the cops on my way to jail. How ironic.
