00:00:00
No, I wasn't. It was the the time when I
00:00:02
when I when I came closest to being
00:00:06
broken was when I was in class in
00:00:08
classification at Pereimal Prison. That
00:00:11
was the we went out to Perry the next
00:00:13
day. Um and the environment in class was
00:00:18
so bad. There was so much tension in
00:00:21
that and that cell block. Um and we were
00:00:24
locked up 23. You see the when I was on
00:00:27
Ramand I was locked up 20 hours a day in
00:00:30
class you're locked up 20 hours a day
00:00:32
and when you're out there's so much
00:00:35
tension there's young young
00:00:39
no hope young buggers um trying to young
00:00:42
ball busters trying to make names from
00:00:46
them and standing over people and there
00:00:47
was always that tension and that really
00:00:50
got to my head. It really gets to your
00:00:53
head when you got nothing to do but
00:00:54
think
00:00:55
>> and and listen to people being abused
00:00:58
and stood over and and being bullied
00:01:02
around and it didn't happen to me but
00:01:04
you know just it was just a horrible
00:01:07
horrible horrible environment
00:01:09
>> and uh it was then that I I felt I was
00:01:12
going to lose the plot and I was going
00:01:15
to break that's when I went to the chief
00:01:18
officer to John Jackson and Hob and uh
00:01:21
Sid The ward said to me, "Right," and I
00:01:25
told him exactly what was happening in
00:01:26
my brain. He said, "All right." He said,
00:01:28
"I'll I'll send you over. You could go
00:01:30
over to Ablock tomorrow." Just like
00:01:32
that. Just like that. And you know, when
00:01:36
he said I could get I said he said,
00:01:38
"Where do you want to?" I said, "I want
00:01:39
to go anywhere. I want to get out of
00:01:41
class. [snorts] You know, put me in the
00:01:43
pound. Put me in solitary. I I can't
00:01:46
handle anymore." So they put me over and
00:01:48
and suddenly
00:01:50
it all disappeared. You know, all the
00:01:53
stress, everything just disappeared in a
00:01:56
in an instant.
