ABBOTT H. HOFFMAN Yall they do is say 'Five Years!' and you go out an old panel door and that's it. And they don't see the fuckin life that you live in jail. Especially a jail like Cook County Jail. I spoke about that. Said it weren't funny. And I said judge, I said from the day I was indicted right up until now I always wanted to confess. Because, uh, I didn't necessarily understand the charge, I read the law and didn't understand that, and you ought to read it, this is Strom Thurmond's Civil Rights Act. That's how it's like in 1984. You get sent to prison under a civil rights act. Remember that. I said, I want to confess because I felt the Government was calling me an enemy of the state--and I am an enemy of the state. And if Wt they'd just said that--they said something heavy like treason, like, said, you're a man without a country, we're going to exile : {ti big 4 a you on a boat and float you around like a man without a country, Phillip Nolan, whatever happened to that like good stuff? You know. They don't do that anymore--~exile. ft a why Als ty four years, five years? Julius for one solid day read contempt A" charges. Loony! None of it made sense. Six months for William ate ‘ay, ay] Kunstler for embracing Ralph Abernathy. Six months!! I called him a fuckin pig--I got five days. But I didn't complain.” (Laughte 32
