  • On the windows ...

  • I've never seen nothing like this before.

  • Look ! On the windows ?

  • You aint see nothing on the windows but people.

  • Walking by. Not on video !

  • I Told you I stand out here for a long time watching this crazy stuff

  • [Laughing]

  • Wow !!! Alright !

  • My name is Otis Johnson.

  • I went to prison at the age of 25 years old

  • and when I came out I was 69 years old.

  • I went to prison - or jail

  • for the crime of attempted murder on a police officer.

  • Assault on a police officer

  • Prison affected me a lot.

  • My re-entry was

  • was a little bit hard at first

  • because things have changed.

  • I got off Times Square

  • and I was looking at the atmosphere.

  • The new things that was happening

  • And I seen that everybody

  • or majority of people were

  • talking to themselves.

  • Then I look closely and they seem

  • to have things in there ears.

  • I don't know with those things?

  • With the phone thing?

  • I phones they called them

  • or something like that?

  • I thought to my mind

  • "What everybody became CIA

  • or agents and stuff like that ?"

  • Because that's the only thing

  • I can think of !

  • somebody walking around

  • with wires in the ears

  • That's what they had when I was out

  • during the 60s and the 70s.

  • And then some people are not even

  • looking where they're going !

  • So I'm trying to figure out

  • how people do that.

  • Control themselves to walk

  • and talk on their phone without

  • even looking where they're going.

  • That was amazing to me.

  • [music]So what's the next move

  • Where do I go

  • Where do I stay

  • Where do I work

  • Where do I rest

  • Where do I play

  • It feels as though I've been up in this gridlock for days

  • Still I'm hoping that this shit stops, but hey [music]

  • I remember this when I first got out.

  • I was gonna make a call.

  • Then I've seen the 1$ thing.

  • It was what 25 cents when I was out?

  • [laughs]

  • I found out

  • when I got on the street

  • they don't use these.

  • Like I said I'm used to

  • being by myself

  • But majority of the time

  • I like the buses because

  • you see diferent things and

  • you also communicate with

  • less people.

  • You know bumping into people

  • when you're riding the train and stuff

  • because that thing's packed.

  • But the bus is not really that packed.

  • Even if it is packed

  • you know you still have

  • room enough to

  • You know maybe talk to somebody

  • or listen to what's happening

  • with other families on the bus.

  • [music] Already 20 years old, now that can't be right

  • Why do I feel like I've already lived half my life [music]

  • Being in society is a good feeling.

  • A very good feeling you know?

  • Other than being inside the prison.

  • You only can go

  • outside at certain times.

  • So I like being in the sun

  • and also observing people.

  • It's nice.

  • It's nice to be free.

  • I think in 1998 or something like that

  • I lost contact with my family.

  • Coming out of prison

  • I was mainly alone.

  • Like I said I had no birth certificate.

  • Nothing like that.

  • I had no family.

  • No girlfriend.

  • No sisters. No brothers.

  • No people that I could communicate

  • that I had years ago.

  • Bothers me a lot because I really

  • you know

  • I really miss my family you know.

  • I remember I had two nieces

  • and they were twins.

  • Everytime I'd come over they'run.

  • They'd run to me and one of them

  • used to get behind me and hide.

  • And the other one would be looking for the other twin

  • And so sometimes I'd just

  • you know just moved to the side so the twin can see the other twin.

  • And she'd say "you crossed me!"

  • So I remember that still.

  • I used to love children.

  • and that's one of the

  • good memories I have.

  • I eat different things now.

  • Because I'm looking at all this

  • crazy stuff they got.

  • So I try it out.

  • You know once in a while.

  • The funny dinners.

  • Different colored drinks.

  • What do you call that ?

  • The gator stuff.

  • Pink. Blue.

  • All these different colors so

  • I started thinking that

  • once in a while.

  • Just because it looks funny.

  • There's so many things that you can eat !

  • So it's a hard choice to pick out

  • really the food that you want.

  • For instance the peanut butter.

  • It had jelly in it

  • And I ain't never seen nothing

  • like that before

  • Definitely wasn't in the

  • prison system you know.

  • So peanut butter and jelly

  • in the same place in a jar ?

  • That that was strange.

  • Still here!

  • 1960's skippy still around.

  • When I don't have nothing to do

  • maybe a six o'clock at night

  • you know I might

  • Since it's nice out

  • I go out in the park.

  • You know I might just meditate

  • You know you gotta

  • let things go because

  • hold on to anger will only

  • stagnate

  • your growth and development.

  • You know a lot of people

  • say society owed me

  • because I did all this time.

  • Even though I did the crime.

  • I don't think like that.

  • I don't feel that

  • society owes me anything.

  • Everything happens for

  • a reason I believe

  • So I let that go

  • and deal with the future

  • instead of dealing with the past.

  • I try not to go backward

  • I try to go forward.

  • That's how I survive in society.

On the windows ...
