“Guards maintain their vigil behind protective glass in this maximum security prison. In 1998, Kim Joseph Torrey, prisoner number C-47554, serving a life sentence for murder, was placed in Corcoran. He maintains hope for his release, which is made visually evident by his extensive collection of law books, legal pads, and manila folders and his prolific letter writing campaigns. Joey Torrey frequently has dreams that the state comes around to serve justice as he sees it—by releasing him. He’s had... that dream for over twenty years. Waking up each day, reluctuant to face his reality, he begins his excercise routine. Joey knows that some of his decisions have caused others to want to kill him before that parole day ever comes. Prisoners usually get “whacked” in the morning when they’re groggy or just released from “the hole.” Sometimes all a person can do is keep their mind and body in tip-top shape in case the moment to defend themself arises. At breakfast time, Torrey might see Charlie Manson and Sirhan Sirhan, whom both share his cell block.MoreLessRead More Read Less
