Sup people?
Thought I was bout due for another blog so since ya'll seem to like to hear bout my stay in prison here‟s another thing I saw.
This situation starts off with me and my cell mate Thommo sittin in our cell waiting for the screws to open the cell doors to let the boys out for the day.
It was gettin well past the usual let out time so we new something was up, when we finally heard the clanking of keys and our door opened.
I wandered out of my cell to see a group of screws ushering some of the boys away from a cell a few doors down from me, being a curious mo fo I had to go have a look and managed to get me head round the screws for a look at what was up.
God damn, what I saw looked like a horror movie, the sink was half full of blood, the walls and roof had splatters of blood all over them and the floor had pools of blood next to the bed and next to a chair in the corner of the room.
The lad that lived in this cell was sitting on his bed looking extremely pale and was holding his arm with a green jail shirt wrapped around it, he removed it for a few seconds and I could see he had used a razor or something to cut a massive gash on the under side of his forearm and another smaller cut on the underside of his wrist.
Shortly after an ambulance arrived and took him away, I forget his name but I still remember he had done around 3 years of a 4 year sentence and I couldn‟t fathom why he had done it but I guess every man has a breaking point.
A few months later the lad returned to X-wing and the screws put him in another single cell which I found weird.
I thought that if he had a cell mate maybe he could keep an eye on him.
I left Goulburn jail before this lad finished up his sentence but he only had a few months to go so Im sure he finished his sentence alive and in one piece.
Pretty gorey stuff to wake up too but its not like we were staying at the hyatt..lol Woke up to my girl Stacey and a bowl of honey smacks this morning....Much better!!
