He Said : " All My Life I have never had The Time to really think about what I was doing.

" When I went there I was alone, you're sat down all day, the only thing you can do is think. "

" So it taught me the value of money. "

He added: " I was sad and upset to be going [to prison] but at the same Time I learn lots of things about life and The Way I was. "
