M' name's Denton Zak Cornell and I was bo'n free. Born free to rot in 'ell as far as our dear guv'ment is concerned, that is. Not like I needed a better part of 3 decades to find that out. But I guess You'd want to know a thing or two 'bout my background. Fine, even tho' I ain't much good at this Curricul'm Vee-Teh Bull-tish.
I's born on Planet Houston, Texas, and lived there all m' life. My old folks never were big on education and it's not like there's much variety of work there. What with it bein' an oversized Correctional Facility an' all, my fate was pretty much pre-de...Fermined or whatchacallit from the start. I was gonna become a Warden and so I did. Worked there for almost fiftayn uneventful years. Fiftayen goddamn years I spent there, only to be replaced by some poor foreign bastard, jus' because I dared stand up for my rights and refused to work for peanuts.
I imagine You hear stories just like that all the time. Which is pretty much why I decided to contact Your fine organisation. Because I know You're the only ones out there that care. Fine, I was brought to the brink, thrown into the gutter. That's another reason.
I'll say it loud and with Your help, I'd like to shout it proud:
