Today is the day. Today is finally the day that I am to be released from the psychiatric hospital since that day when I passed out. I know last time you heard from me, I was broken and unhappy and had hate for the world, but i'm in the best state i could ever be, I really am I tell you. Oh how excited I am to see old Phoebe. I haven’t seen her since i’ve been admitted into this wing of the hospital. Oh I wonder how much she has grown< She was so intelligent and pure, nothing could ever compromise her.

Piper’s story is both similar and different from other female offenders. Piper’s story is similar to other female offenders because her offense posed little threat of violence and was considered a low level offense.

I found an article about how some funeral directors were moving and destroying the bodies of the dead, after all of the family members of that relative is dead to make more room on the grounds. I thought about how quickly someone could just leave the face of the earth and not be remeber and I thought, is that a world I would want to be apart of? Two months later Skylar committed suicide, not many really knows what happen but some say she wanted attention others, say she had at home problems but not many really knew what happened including me. They say her sister found her and she really wasn’t the same after that. There was a brief pause to recognize her exists, but the world went on.
