reg's jail journals ... Sleepy Hollow Correctional Centre
Day 15 (November 11)
Finally I get the writing paper I’ve been waiting for (they ran out yesterday). Today’s a holiday (Remembrance Day) so again I get to sleep in. This I like.
Today I shaved. We have to ask the guard for a razor (they keep them locked up because they fear we will take the blades out and make weapons or commit suicide). The guard who passed me the razor put on a rubber glove before picking it up. We are not given gloves. I guess that means that he is concerned about catching a disease but it doesn’t matter if one of us does. Moe says the gloves are so we won’t catch the guards diseases. I’ll go with that explanation. It’s also hard to get a good look at yourself in the mirror because the mirror is not your normal glass mirror. It’s a piece of shiny metal bolted to the wall. Things are different in here. I also notice there are no electrical outlets in the cells (and light switches are outside too). Also the light itself is enclosed in a heavy casing, I suppose this is so we will not try to electrocute ourselves. It seems they don’t have much confidence in the inmates willingness to survive this ordeal.
I spoke to Wayne N. on the phone last night. He’s doing OK. He tells me that Freddy offered to let him come to morning group at the house. I think I will talk to Freddy about this option for myself and incorporate it into my plans. I will discuss it wiuth my lawyer if she shows up today.
Chicken legs for supper tonight; I think there is a repeating pattern to these meals. Further investigation is warranted.
My lawyer didn’t show up today so most of the day was spent playing Risk. Twice so far, I have lost. Third time lucky, I hope.
