--------
Billy Garland discussed his emotional visit to his son, Tupac Shakur, while he was in prison. This marked their first significant conversation, providing an unexpected opportunity for Garland to understand 2Pac's perspective. During their meeting, 2Pac was eager to learn about his mother's past, particularly about events and decisions she had made that shaped their lives. Garland, overwhelmed by the gravity of the moment, faced a moral dilemma but decided against revealing too much about Afeni Shakur's past.
Further complicating 2Pac's incarceration were his relationships with prison officers, a challenging ordeal due to his public anti-police stance. Garland noted that the officers made life particularly difficult for the famous rapper, often threatening him due to his lyrics and reputation. Additionally, Garland addressed 2Pac's marriage to Keisha Morris, clarifying misconceptions about their reasons for marrying. Contrary to popular belief, the marriage was not primarily for conjugal visits, as evidenced by the swift annulment following 2Pac's release.
