"[The case manager] made me feel like a piece of shit to be honest. He made me feel so low down, that whole day I was sad, I was crying.

"He was supposed to help me, but instead he told me to rob a bank. Who am I going [to go to] for help now?"

That is pretty fucked up, people even those coming out of prison deserve to be treated with courtesy.
