Stateville Correctional Center
Joliet, Ill. Opened 1919 Capacity: 2,250 Inmates: 2,250 males
I did not come here
to live,
I came here to do this time. So, when you officers refer
to me as resident, Please keep that thought in
mind.
I don't really like that word, In fact I think it's a bore. This is my first time here, And I don't intend to come
back anymore.
Now that I'm here, At a place I don't want to be, I only got a few years to do, So one day, I might go free. I was sent here by the courts, Which I could not prevent. But, while I'm here, please don't
call me a Damn
Resident.
