Congrats, DJJ-Man! I did some hard time in the PRK myself, in the late 70's and early 80's (sent there from AZ to try and make a living).
It was bad back then, but no where near as bad as you later inmates have had it. I tunneled out in 1985 and never looked back.
As for what I miss about living in California? About as much as I miss my last case of jock-itch.
Welcome to freedom!!
