SLJ - A Long Walk to Freedom

19/7/1975

I'm so sick of this place, today I worked out that I have been in here for two years! Today I worked in the quarry as usual, smashing rocks into gravel, I slipped and hurt my back today, its so bad I have been crawling around my cell to get from bed to the hall to get one of the two meals we get each day, it may taste disgusting but at least it is food. I didn't make it in time so now I will have to wait until tomorrow to eat.
Studying has helped take my mind off the constant pain a little, the law is very interesting and sometimes I close my eyes and imagine an alternate reality where I walk out of this place and use what I've learned to help my country.
