I want to go to prison!
Patients are an inexhaustible source of surprise.
I am preparing for the operation of a man, tall, burnt, with a great body - he was 10 years older than me and looked 10 years younger.
All - laboratory indicators, electrocardiogram, pressure, pulse - like a young man, fucking, and definitely better than mine!
Even cholesterol is normal.
The medications? It doesn’t take any, something unheard of for a 65-year-old!
I ask, with secret hope, do you smoke?
I dropped 10 years ago.
Do you drink?
You’re not in jail, you laugh.! to
Aaaah, that is what it is!
He is a prisoner, serving a sentence in a correctional-labour colony for nonviolent crimes with minimal protection.
I therefore did not understand - there was no guard, they are allowed to dress in their usual clothes, you can not distinguish from ordinary patients.
They talked.
He quit smoking ten years ago, smoking is prohibited in prison.
He works on a farm, earns some money, two weekends, 40 hours a week.
He visits a well-equipped square with a stadium, runs there and swings 3-4 times a week.
There is still a deadline, to clarify has not been adopted, for which - exactly untactical question.
This is white collar crime.
Everything went well with him, he called and they came to him, said goodbye and left to himself, "home."
He left, and I thought...
He is in prison, he is healthy and leads a proper lifestyle.
I am free, I work on wear, the maximum of physical exercises - walking dogs, cholesterol - higher does not happen, a handful of pills in the morning and two handfuls in the evening, the 40-hour week has not happened for years 20, every third day of duty, eating stitches, sleep too...
Who of us is in jail?! to
Or am I also in a prison, just without walls – a prison of habits and lifestyle?
Do I need to move from one prison to another?! to
I will think.
I advise you.
