What Do These People Have in Common?

What do Nelson Mandela, T.I., Shyne, Lil Kim, Bernie Madoff, Michael Vick, Plaxico Burress and countless others have in common? If you haven't figured it out, its the fact that every single one of them have experienced and are currently experiencing a life behind bars. In other words, Suspended In Time. Prison doesn't discriminate no matter what the case. Whether your taking a stand for something you believe in or you got caught red handed, prison is a multi-million dollar business. Many people don't understand the dynamics of this concept, but its reality. Without having prisoners to occupy their prisons, there would be no jobs for the warden, Correctional Officers, and the countless number of people which help run a facility. There is no special treatment when it comes to you violating the law which has been set out for you to abide by. It took Nelson Mandela twenty seven years for his liberation against speaking up against Apartheid. T.I. has to spend a year and a day just like Lil Kim in a Federal State Prison for charges brought against him. Shyne just spent the past eight years in prison and will soon be released this year. All these people have been Suspended In Time at some point in their lives. Prison doesn't discriminate! Some people think they're above the law until it finally catches up with them and they realize their fame or social status will not prevent them from being Suspended In Time. The bottom line here is no matter who you are, there is always room for you if you don't abide by the laws which govern our society. It's business, never personal!
