Nick Hogan gave an interview to Life & Style magazine about how hard his eight month stint in prison was, from his 2007 drunken drag racing spree that left his passenger John Graziano in a vegetative state.

He said: "There are moments that haunt me to this day. "There are times when I'll be watching a prison movie and hear the sound of a gate slamming, and I get the willies. It was horrible."

"Time away from my family was the most difficult part of my sentence. One of the things which makes you feel comforted is talking to a family member. But you don't have a phone - you have to wait until it's your time of the day to call. "You miss being able to connect with people because everyone there is just cold, just brutal." (Source)

In related news, John Graziano was just released from the hospital after two years, although he'll still need assisted care 24 hours a day. I guess you could say he's the lucky one, since he has the overall consciousness of a houseplant and can't remember stuff like not being able to use the phone. Except that he'll never be able to use a phone again since he lost the part of his brain that lets him use a phone in the accident -- but do you hear him complaining? Oh right, he lost the part of his brain that lets him complain, too. Let's just feel sorry for Nick Hogan and his harrowing prison experience some more.
