After a novel's worth of drama (including successfully forging my own death certificate), I ended up being sentenced to 16 months in prison. With "half-time" I served nine and a half months, including four months at the California Institute for Men at Chino -- the very prison torn apart by rioting last weekend.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-olmsted/an-insiders-view-of-chino_b_260113.html"><P>
