“Released” (drama) Under 1 minute

Monologue Description:  “Released” is about a prisoner who is being released from prison after killing his parents three decades prior.

Character Description:  Leonard talks to a new prisoner about what he plans on doing when he gets out.

LEONARD:

I’m gonna leave prison sometime tomorrow and be done with it.  I’m forty two, been locked up since I was fourteen.  I was raised in prison.  Not too many people can say that but I can.  That’s my life.  I’ve seen alot of dirt in here and I’ve written a book about my entire experience.  I’m going to throw it back in their faces and make money doing so.  I was locked up for killing my parents.  I sacrificed my freedom to get rid of the abuse that was my life.  To be honest, I would have done double the time if I had to.  My parents weren’t fit to live and I still have no regret or remorse about playing God. 

If you want to know why I am so cold towards what happened thirty somewhat years ago, then read my book.
