Paraphrased summary of comments made by prisoner and/or others:

Doug's current conviction was for possession of about .4 of gram of cocaine. The drugs were found in pocket of pants that Doug

had borrowed from a friend. Doug's prior burglary charge involved the theft of a keyboard of Doug's brother. The second

burglary charge was when Doug and a friend entered Doug's friend's girlfriend's house to retrieve some compact disks. The

father of the girlfriend chased them away and called the police--who then arrested Doug and the friend on burglary charges.
