Boxing legend, Mike Tyson has revealed he spent the best three years of his life while in prison.
In 1992 he went to jail when he was accused by Desiree Washington, a Miss Black America contestant, of rape, Tyson denied the accusations, even so, he was imprisoned in the Indiana Youth Center. His sentence was 10 years, six in prison and four on probation, but because of his good behavior he was in prison for only three years. He was released in 1995.
Many thought the three years he spent in prison would have been very difficult because he was at the top of his career but he apparently had a better time than expected.
“They respected [Tupac], soon as he came in the room, they started applauding,” Tyson told NORE and DJ EFN.
In a new interview with “The Pivot Podcast” where he looked relaxed, while smoking a marijuana cigarette, Tyson said:
“I had the best three years of my life in prison,” said Tyson. “I had peace. That money doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have your peace, your stability and your balance. You need your sanity to dictate any part of life.
“I had good food, everybody was nice to me, they treated me well.”
“I would run around the yard 8 or 9 miles and in the evenings I would jump for four hours, in my cell. Everybody treated me good in jail, they were afraid of me, but I was always a good person.”

Ghanaian musician Sista Afia has raised concerns over how road construction is done in Ghana.
The singer took to social media to pose what she described as a genuine question to contractors, especially those working on roads.
She questioned why it appears that when a road is being worked on, all lanes are destroyed at once, leaving motorists with no usable lane, instead of working on one lane at a time.
Sista Afia wrote, “Contractors, I have a genuine question for you, especially those working on roads in Ghana. Why is it that whenever a road is being worked on, it sometimes feels like all the lanes have to be destroyed at once before we get even one lane to use? If it’s a three-lane road, wouldn’t it make more sense to work on one lane at a time, while leaving the others open for motorists to use?.”
The “Asuoden” hitmaker admitted she is not a contractor and there might be technical reasons for the approach, but noted that from a road user’s perspective, completely blocking or damaging all lanes at once creates heavy traffic and inconvenience.
“I’m not a contractor, so maybe there’s a technical reason why things are done this way that I don’t understand. But from a road user’s perspective, completely blocking or damaging all the lanes at once creates so much traffic and inconvenience. Wouldn’t working on one lane at a time, where possible, allow construction to continue while still giving people a usable road? Maybe there’s something I’m missing. Contractors, please educate me,” she added.
Her post has since sparked conversations online, with many road users agreeing with her while others attempt to explain the engineering process behind such construction methods.
