Just keep on punching the walls.

because you're in jail?
- Well, since I'm a convicted felon,
I can't vote.
- Oh.
- You lose that right once you get a felon.
- Well, I don't think that's fair.
- I don't think that's fair.

You went to jail for two years
and then for the rest of your life
you'll never be able to vote again?

- Yeah, I get to inspire people.
I get to share my story,
share what challenges I have
