Solitary

Whilst sitting in the punishment block in Dartmoor, trying to write my letter, I had to give up. The cell was so damp that the ink of my biro was running on the paper.

The Governor makes his daily visit - "Any problems?" What, apart from the water running down the walls...? "Don't worry", he says, "it gets better in the summer." It was October.

  2. Please do not tell me this is true? You really are not in a punishment block with water running down the wall? I cannot believe that a Prison Governor would permit this. It must have occurred before the EUCHR not to mention contravening H&S. Did I not read in the Guardian that you were in a prison near Shepton Mallett?
