(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh Azmo should stop complaining and count he blessings. He should be thanking he lucky stars that he end up in the high-profile section of the prison and not among the general population.

Azmo apparently don’t know how good he got it. He should ask to be transferred to the general population for just one night. Dem boys guarantee he gon be begging the prison authorities to put he back where he come from before breakfast.

In the general population, things does be different. Is not everybody getting a comfortable place to sleep. Some prisoners does be sleeping on cardboard, and if you lucky, you might get a piece big enough to cover half yuh body. The other half got to negotiate with the concrete floor.

And then is the company. You might have to share a cell with fellas who does smoke dope, drink Hennessy, make illegal phone calls and carry on like they hosting a Saturday night lime. Some does be laughing, cracking jokes, throwing tantalise and discussing everything from politics to football at two in the morning.

Sleep? Forget that! One man phone ringing, another man arguing with somebody outside, and a third man explaining to he cellmate why he innocent. Everybody innocent in prison, but somehow everybody still deh inside.

Dem boys seh the general population is where you learn the true meaning of community living. You share everything: space, smells, noise, food and sometimes the same little piece of cardboard.

And don’t think you can complain about the noise. Somebody might tell you that if you want peace and quiet, you shoulda book a hotel instead of coming to prison.

So Azmo should count he blessings. Because if he think the high-profile section rough, wait till he experience the real prison hospitality. He might discover that being a high-profile prisoner ain’t so bad after all. Sometimes, the best privilege in prison is simply being somewhere else!

Talk half. Leff half.
