i'm glad you're out. >> your ears are cold. >> i'm sorry. we've been waiting a long time. what were you, primping? >> thank you! >> this day has been one that i've been looking forward to so much, but i've also been so, so scared because i don't want him to come back. i don't want him to come back, and he always thinks that it won't happen again, but you know, all of us are getting older. we never know how long we have. and i just want him to be around to enjoy all of us and for us to enjoy him, because he's a really good person and has a great heart, but nobody knows it. all they know him is prisoner houck, you know? he's just a prisoner to them, but he's my child and he's a good person. i missed you so much. >> i missed you. >> i see a couple different futures. i mean, i see myself back in prison again and i see myself a regular, normal human living a normal life.
want to check that out? drop it, boom. turn around. i don't have to -- you don't have to grab your cheeks, you know what i mean? i just do because it says "open wide," and i do this right here. that way, they can see it. then i squat, bam, all right? then i just say, huh! you know what i mean? or sometimes i scare them and go, ah hah, and that's about it. >> while houck can laugh in prison, he has more serious issues to deal with on the streets, and now after nearly two years, this is his last night in santa rosa. >> i haven't had a bad time since i've been here. i've been laughing as much as i possibly can, joking, i mean, whatever i can make the best out of, i do it. i don't think about the outside streets, i don't think about mom, i don't think about my daughter, i don't think about none of that. it's real easy to live in prison, seriously. i don't know, it's really trough out there. >> houck's 5-year-old daughter is currently in the custody of his ex-wife, who is remarried and does not permit visits, but
here's my alien skull with his brains bashed in. here's miss misery. i've had her for 20 years. it's a cover-up of a girlfriend's name that i had right here. this will show you how old i am. a guns n' roses tattoo. ha! can you believe that [ bleep ]? i still do love guns n' roses. they're [ bleep ]. there's no denying that. there's a lot of roles in prison. you can be whoever you want to be. >> serving a 20-year sentence for armed robbery hasn't stopped tavares lee from being a future entrepreneur at the santa rosa correctional institution in florida. >> what's in your hand there? let me see.
