Inmate count
 

So, it seems a lot of my fellow inmates are to be released from this prison colony in the very near future. Who will remain and when is everyone planning to leave?

I cannot get parole till Feb or March 2010, so still have over a year left of breaking rocks and sewing mailbags to do :( .

Re: Inmate count
 

Best I can hope for is a full pardon in Nov 09, but I do have temporary time off for good behaviour this Xmas :D

Re: Inmate count
 

I am soooo jealous :(

Re: Inmate count

Re: Inmate count
 

I'm into endurance sports :lol:

Re: Inmate count
 

But there is only so much mind-numbing boredom a person can take, enjoy your time off, you have earned it hun.

Re: Inmate count
 

I've reached a state of zen :lol:

Funnily enough it looks like I'll have to give up triathlon and cycling so I will be looking for a new diversion upon my return. Probably this::D

Re: Inmate count
 

Funny you should talk of new diversions, the one good thing about coming here and knowing no one was I learned to knit, one of the very few things I will miss will be my local yarn store who welcomed and taught me. It has come in handy for the lack of good clothes shops, fortunately they have an online store and deliver to England. Being a nurse the donorcycle scares the living sh*t out of me, yoga or pilates would be great for your back though.

Re: Inmate count
 

Yeah I have been doing pilates for about 5yrs now. It does help:)

I can knit (really) my Mum taught me when I was little, only basic stuff though:cool:

Re: Inmate count
 

WOW :D I am seriously impressed. Most blokes think pilates is for girls, but there was this one guy at my gym in Harrogate known to the ladies as "buff pilates guy" ;) fabulous eye candy, for those who are into that kind of thing of course :o. Compared to the beefed up jocks at the footy gym in Essendon he was an adonis.

Re: Inmate count
 

Yeah, that's me, err adonis :unsure::lol:

Re: Inmate count
 

:p Prison gym not too ropey then.

Re: Inmate count
 

Five years served, sentence is Life without Parole - I feel a bit like an extra on Prisoner Cell Block H :lol:

Re: Inmate count
 

My original sentence was life with little chance of parole. I was promised regular visits from family on the outside, but after the first couple of visits they stopped happening. I was also promised extended periods of parole once a year, and I did eventually get these but God I had to fight like hell to get them.

I tried to get some of my family on the outside to do some crazy stuff just so I could at least have them here with me, but despite their promises to me on numerous occasions, they have all played it straight and still have their freedom. Fair play to them though. They're much better off out of this place.

I managed to escape after just 4 years but was re-captured after 2 years on the run (partly due to people close to me ratting me out to the cops, which they thought was "for my own good') and have since served a further 15 years.

Throughout the course of those 15 years I've been quietly planning another escape. I don't want to rush it because this time I want to make sure it's permanent! Unfortunately I told one or two people on the outside about this (stupidly thought I could trust them) and they blabbed to the authorities and that resulted in me being put in a super high security isolation cell on numerous occasions, which has seriously delayed my escape.

Anyway the good news it (don't tell the screws) I've almost perfected my plan now (hopefully)! I'm afraid I will have to serve one more Christmas at least though before putting my plan into action.

Hope to see you all soon on the outside!

3 months and I'm blowing town

Re: Inmate count
 

glad 'er maj' is pleased, but for me not so much :frown:

Re: Inmate count
 

But is it your pleasure? :p

Re: Inmate count
 

It's OK so far.

Plenty things to keep me interested and plenty to irritate me.

It's not so bad because I don't need to work and will be going back regularly anyway....I am treating it as a long holiday...quite like all the new fishing to expore and miss the old like mad.:(

We have also had it pretty easy...house and car laid on etc. (payback time from son:thumbup:)......even got a big boat to play on:thumbsup:

we shall see.

Lucky bar steward :thumbup:

Re: Inmate count
 

I'm Freeeeeeeeeeee......!!!!:thumbsup::rofl:

Sorry to present inmates but very snug feeling today. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and it's just picture perfect looking over the lush green fields towards Dartmoor:wub: mmm, yes, all warm and snug feeling.

Your time for parole will come.

Re: Inmate count
 

Oh shut up will you! :lol:

The heat has been stifling here today.

Re: Inmate count
 

Oh that's a shame.....;) woke up early to take little 'un riding, needed the heater on in the car and the de-icer to get just a thin layer of ice off the windscreen. The sun nearly blinding me, we drove down the little lanes, carefully avoiding a pheasant with a death wish, and stared in awe at the sheer beauty that mother nature creates here in Blighty.

Re: Inmate count
 

Enough torture already, already wondering how hard it must be to swim to freedom :(. You'll be telling us about the Friday big shop in Sainsbury's next, where no one asked in robotic yet cheesy fashion how you are, the quaint pub with the hops over the bar and a roaring fire to daze dreamily into, or the Sally Army playing Chrissy carols in the village centre, the crump of snow underfoot. No, no I can't take any more.

Re: Inmate count
 

Swimming to freedom has been tried many a time. It never works!

They don't need barbed wire fences when they've got that much water around you!

(and yet they dare to try to con us into thinking there's a severe shortage of the stuff, thus forcing us to pay more for water, have dead lawns, feel guilty if we shower for more than a minute and the prison wardens might even fine you if they catch you (or a fellow inmate dobs you in for) watering your plants at the 'wrong' time of day)!

It's all part of the punishment regime I know, but a little bit of freedom every now and then would be most welcome!

Re: Inmate count
 

I often thought about taking the plunge and making a watery break for it, but seen as I get gripped with "Shark Phobia" on the plunge of a big toe I refrained!:rofl:

Yes, brass band playing carols in the high street last night accompanying Santa being towed by the obligatory Land Rover as he made his way through the town. No snow though, very disappointing as I did order some! Tsk tsk....

Will be off to Tesco's soon to mull over which cheeses, from the ENORMOUS range of fabulous cheeses, I shall buy to tuck into over Christmas. And whether to buy a frozen turkey or put one on Death Row by ordering a fresh one from the local poultry farm. Top that with having to make the awful and arduous decision over whether to buy a giant tin of Quality Street or Roses, both priced at a measily £5, makes for a very stressful time indeed. Oh decisions decisions.....

:rofl::rofl:

Re: Inmate count
 

Nice post Tracey - sounds like someone's feeling better:thumbsup:xx

Re: Inmate count
 

Definite old lag here - nearly 30 years served and never likely to get paroled. I must have done something really really bad, shame I cant remember what it was now!!!?!

Re: Inmate count
 

Getting there;)

Re: Inmate count
 

Yeah England crap why would I want to move back :rofl:.
You've given me something to aspire to love, I shall keep me 'ed down and me nose clean gov In the hope of timely release. Have a great one for us still in here wont you. :D

Re: Inmate count
 

That must make you the Top Dog aka Bea Smith quoll.

11 years and 8 months for me - release date has been put back a few months so I will be clocking up the 12 before I leave.

Re: Inmate count
 

4 years done - another 4-12 months???

Re: Inmate count
 

Still desperately trying to plan my escape after almost 12 years. Look as though I may have to wait at least another 7/8 months or maybe more. Life is passing me by and I shall be drawing my pension at this rate.:(

Re: Inmate count
