JSM - edition one

W alter P aisley - continued We arrived at Port Arthur on a windy day. They didn’t offer us a blanket not that I expected them filthy offices to. They told us roughly to march up into the paddock. I had a cold feeling enter me stomach when they spoke. They told us that we’d be given privileges they would be given each week but could be taken away. I knew I wouldn’t be getting many of them. I remember this good memory once. I was telling me friends stories about panties and making England sound better than it actually was. In the end I got into trouble – but it was worth it. As time went on I got into more and more trouble. All I really wanted to do then was get out of there. When I did get out after 7 years, I didn’t realise how harsh the outside world was. It was really tough. I didn’t get dinner or anything. I once stole a carrot to eat. I felt ashamed after that but I had to eat. A year later I was back in prison but things had changed. I wanted to be a good man. I spent 4 years in prison and from good behaviour I got out. At the age of 52 I finally have found happiness. I built a boat that was me life. I remember the first day I went sailing on it. The happiest day of me life. I am now a happy man!
