I've been here for going on six months, and everything has been working out here. I've been programming, and you know, I take a lot of classes and stuff... I'm really working on getting my life together. I gotta go back to Texas. That's a must. You know what I mean? ...Nobody knows me in Texas knows me as being on drugs. I got out of love down there. I got my love of love and respect. 

This program here, this is the only program in Los Angeles County where you can actually come here and they help you financially and you can save your money. It don't cost you nothing to get in this program... The program is basically free... [and] this place has been here for a long time, over 100 years. It's, it's all, it's all up to you... and, what you want to get out the program? 

​

[Ultimately,] I want to be a good husband, a good father and a grandfather. You know? Because my granddaughter, my oldest one, she's going through it right now [saying,]... "When are you coming home and PaPa?"
