The transfer from state custody to federal prison kept me waiting at the county jail for several hellish weeks in maximum-security lockdown.  I was constantly being moved from one county jail to the next "for my security".  I wasn't allowed knowing where I would be moved to next or even when.  So, I spent many anxiety filled nights wondering if tonight would be the night I would get the dreaded 3:30 a.m. wake-up call to "pack it up".
