Definitely an interesting read.

Not to be stereotypical of course, but this guy seemingly defied any stereotypical portrayal I had of a convict.

Of course, as was mentioned, his well-spoken mannerisms set him distinctly apart from other convicts.

Good luck to him in the future.
Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it.

He should turn this into a book, it;s interesting enough.

Astonishing read.
I usually don't like those kinds of one liner, but I'll make an exception.

INCREDIBLE POST!

This has got to be the most informative thing I have ever read on the internet. It was amazing in a fucked up, never want to experience it way. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks for OP for bringing this up here from 99chan.
obviously, thanks a lot for the true OP. Don't think he'll hear us here, but he should elaborate it and write a book with this. This kind of book is helpful for a lot of people, and can give him some good cash in return. It might also clear his name for society, so he becomes able to get jobs easier later on.

I actually read this entire thing too. I was bored, and this seemed to be quite an eye-opener.

"So I caught the bus home and waited up all night for morning. Because when I close my eyes I'm terrified I'm going to wake up back in my cell, listening to tuburculor coughs, faint weeping, sleep grunting, and the ever present deviated septum snoring of my cellmate. It's a stupid fear, but once it's dark, I get this creeping terror that maybe I'm still in solitary, having dumped a whole gram on my way in, and that this is all a fevered dream and when I wake up I'll still be inside."

Wow.....just wow.
It is what it is...

Wow, he describes stuff that I only thought existed in the movies. I felt sad when I read what he had endured.

The prisons with the highest security in Sweden looks like hotels in comparison to what he described.

Picture taken from a prison cell in the Swedish prison with the highest security rank. This is where we place our murderers.

In Sweden each intern has their own room with nice furniture, a toilet, a TV and a radio as well as as a window to the outside. In many prisons the interns are free to bring their own gaming consoles or computer (without internet connection). The interns may choose to either work or study (free studies of course) during the days. When they are free in the afternoon or on the weekends then they can choose to enjoy any of the activities that the prison offers. Such activities includes: visiting the library, praying at the different religious rooms, training in the health centre and doing sports such as football, tennis and miniature golf. I have heard that the food is pretty good too.

It's much less violence in our prisons aswell. I can't remember the last time I heard about someone getting killed in a Swedish prison.

I don't know what is more disturbing, the story itself or the fact that I was not shocked or surprised at all reading it.

you almost describe that like it's a good thing

Murderers shouldn't be pampered. Perhaps some sort of in between would be good. Problem in America (as I understand) is the prisons are filled with drug offenders which is dumb so it makes them overpopulated. Just legalize all drugs no problem! Or at least marijuana.

Yeah great read. I have to wonder whether the prison system is incorrect. The ends do justify the means. In this case, a person is sent to solitary, people are exposed to drugs, and they lose their families, a few even die. On the other hand the prison accomplishes its goal of making these people capable of living in society without harming others anymore


Seems hardly the case to be honest.

Prison is an awful place and I can only laugh at people that try to be all hardass saying that they would LOVE going back to prison...anyone who says that has never actually been to prison.

I also hate that people get sent to prison for freaking drug charges. That place is not for someone that deals drugs...
