When assassin Robert Bardo told me he was treated at home like the family cat, fed and left in his room, it occurred to me to ask him to compare his childhood with his current life in prison. Bardo: It’s the same in the sense that I’m always withdrawing within myself in my cell, just like back at home. GdeB: Are there any differences between what you do here and what you did when you were a child? Bardo: Well, I have to be more social here. GdeB: Didn’t you have any requirement at home to be social? Bardo: No, I learned that in prison.
