Huh! Well with only 102 years left on Clifford Etienne‘s sentence the 49-year-old boxing star will have plenty of time to see many generations of prisoneers come and go.

Despite the long sentence Clifford Etienne appears to be in great spirits — spending his time painting and cutting hair for his prison mates … as well as responding to his pen pals.

Maybe he should call his spot Clifford’s Babershop, you know to give prisoneers a feeling that they’re not locked up?

Anyways, Etienne told TMZ in a letter:

I am still healthy, and I look forward to a better future.

He adds:

I paint and cut hair almost every day … I do watch TV sometimes … mostly news and sports.

Etienne also talks about his living situation, as well as reflects on his boxing career.

The fighter is remaining extremely positive, saying:

I will get out of here.

Even if the legal odds aren’t in his favor Etienne has hope.
