Part 2/10:
In the early 2000s, Lawton was transferred from a penitentiary in Atlanta to a new medium-security prison in Coleman, Florida. Unfamiliar with this transition, he was curious and hopeful. Many inmates regarded Coleman as a "country club," contrasting sharply with the older and harsher conditions of the Atlanta prison that Lawton had just come from.
After a six-hour bus ride, shackled and treated like a typical prisoner, Lawton arrived at Coleman and was struck by its cleanliness and seemingly relaxed atmosphere. The facility was relatively new, having been built in 1995, which fostered hopes for a more manageable prison life.
