Day 7723

For the record...


'Dear Mr Crayley,

Thank you for your letter dated May 7th. All paperwork for your retirement is well in hand and you will be receiving your pension details forthwith.

Your 21 years of faithful service to this institution are truly appreciated and long-standing members of our reform community are always missed, but we are confident you have earned your personal time.

We also understand the trials that the last few months have placed upon you and your family and, as such, are foregoing the normal gold wristwatch in favour of a lump sum suggested by our legal advisers. We trust it will meet with your satisfaction.

Once again, many thanks for your service.

All the best mate.

Barry'


I'm going home.

Day 7722

Forest Jones went home today. I think I'll be seeing more of him. Apparently his friends call him For-J.

Day 7721

This is the first day in a very long time that 4J hasn't been here. I appear to miss him. Oh, and for the record, I had a chat with 2J when he was in 4J's bugged cell and convinced him that, not only did I know he was a Head Office plant, but that we could turn the tables and defraud the prison of most of its budget, to which he agreed. I went back with the DVD and said it was time for him to leave or have the DVD arrive at HO the next day. Needless to say, he's gone.

Oh, and I posted the forms.

Day 7720

One man has shown more courage and dignity than this place ever deserved. Tomorrow is an important day and I really hope he finally gets justice.

Day 7719

I've put the word round that the shower is on the blink. I don't want the inmates to work out that 4J might be leaving - there is a history of last weeks not being pleasant experiences. Let's get him out of here in one piece.

Day 7718

4J will be catching flies if he carries on walking around with his mouth open like that. What was in that letter?

Day 7717

That's funny, 2J appears to be trying to avoid me. I wonder why
