It was in March 1971 when I walked into the penitentiary in Lompoc, California. We were stripped naked, and this big cop got right in my face with details about me on my I.D. card that he had to process. And he said, “So you’re the motherf–king Po–ck hippie that hijacked that ship.”

And I walked up to him, and I was just butt naked, and I got right in his face. And I said, “Number one, I don’t know about no mf Po−ck hippie that hijacked the ship. If you’re asking me if I’m the guy that mutinied and is sentenced to mutiny, then you have the right person.” That was the very first day.
