My Time in Jail – R.K
Since being in jail since 2002 I have missed out on
some of the best years of my daughters life, her birthdays and not being
able to be there for her. I have been in six different jails now up and
down the country. I have lost one of my best mates in a car crash while I
have been in jail; it has been nearly three years now.
I can cope with being in jail as long as I know me
family and friends are all fine and OK. If they are not OK, because there
is nothing that I can do to help them, that’s when I can’t cope.
I enjoy getting visits, but the only visit that upset
me was when my daughter did not really know who I was.
This is my story ov my life in pen – S.G
It’s not a nice place to be in but I have got used
to it after a bit. I have spent most of my life in and out of jail. I have
spent about a year and a half on the out since I was 14 years old. The
thing I don’t like about jail is you get stitched up. I have been to
many jails, like Hindley, Stokeheath, and North Allerton and of course
Lancaster Farms where I am currently at. But the best one I have been to
is Forest Bank. The worst one is this one I am at now coz of the raw bang
up and they run the jail. But the stress is not good for your head, it
fucks you up. When I get out I always think of pen. It’s my life now. I
don’t know how to live on the road.
I have spent four months in this jail. I can’t wait
to get sentenced then I can go back to Hindley where all my mates are. I
am looking at about 5 years now but when I get out I am going to chill out
so I can be at home with my kids. My girlfriend is getting stress looking
after them on her own and keeps getting on my case.
The Worst Day of my Life – I.C
My name is Imran Chokwaya. I am from Preston.
Actually my motherland is India. 6th September 2002 I came to
Britain, in the morning, 8.30 pm. That time I was only 18 years old. After
that I got good job in Preston. I was so happy in that life. I got big
family in Preston and they really loved me. After one and a half years I
saw one girl who really like me. So I get married with her in April 2004.
I got no enough money to buy house that’s why we are living with my
Uncle. In first married day I was happy. After few months our marriage
became hell. Every time when I come from work she’s ready to fight with
me. She always asking me money. In February she gone from my house to her
mother home. She didn’t rang me where she is. I am sick and tired of her
that why I didn’t try to ring her. I thought she will come back in week,
two week, but she didn’t.
16th Feb, morning, 8.00 o’clock one
policeman and two immigration officers suddenly came to my house and they
are looking for me. I was sleeping in my bedroom. They taking me to the
Blackburn police station. I don’t have any sense what’s going on here.
They put me in a pad. 12.00 o’clock my solicitor arrived there and he
told me that my wife complained yesterday about me. I was so scared I
don’t know what to do. My solicitor told me every single proof is
against you. And 17th Feb I prove guilty and I got three months
prison, and now at the moment I am in jail.
I think 16th Feb was the worse day of my
life
Jail – bad things about it – C.B
I hate being in jail because my son doesn’t get to
see his Dad everyday like he should do. I jail I hate it when the screws
get us up at half past seven, far too early for us. In all my times I have
been in here Wetherby is the worst I’ve been in because it’s far from
home for me family to visit when I was there.
My Time in Jail – C.P
This is my first time in jail. I’ve never expected
jail to be like this. I’ve been here for 2 ½ months. I have not been
sentenced yet but getting sentenced on Monday. All right food, pads are a
bit dirty. Its good having a telly because it’s really boring going to
education. Other than that it’s all right.
One Night – T.M
One of the nights when I went to a club
When I went there I seen a little spud
He thought that he was a little ghetto thug
End of the day he’s just a little spud
Thought he was good coz he smokes the bud
End of the day he’s not from my hood
So I’ll take his bud, just like I should
That’s when he started to get bowdy
That’s when I knocked him on the floor U.C
Then I told him you’ve just been robbed
End of the day you’re just a little nob
Try test me I’ll stick my dick in your gob
Don’t give a damn if you’ve got a job
Man like me goes out on rob
Man like me licks big robberies
Don’t give a damn if I’m in custody
Coz man like me will do my time
I will do it really fine
