Day 722

Well, this is my last entry and huggy guard is standing here to walk me out! I want to finish this diary while I am here to complete this for my own sanity. My case has been overthrown and I am to receive more compensation that first thought! Huggy guard, Edward - or Ted he told me (to his friends), has already given me his contact details and said that Lou is waiting at the gates for me. Looks like I have a new life ahead, but this life here in this cell has certainly made me a different person. For better or worse, these times will not be forgotten.

Day 721

Well Day 1 of the case is done, what a busy day. Simon was accused of laundering money from our company, I didn't know he worked there but apparently he worked in a remote office and was filtering minor amounts from large quantities of customers, which amounted to millions! His father is the judge of my case, and hid the fact that Simon had committed the crime. My name was just a random selection of "good employees" that Simon picked, and because of his random selection I got to spend over 720 days in prison. Needless to say, Simon is now under a trial of his own.  The result? I won't know this until tomorrow. Seems the judge is putting up a bit of a fight, but then so is my solicitor. And I saw Louise from afar! She was so encouraging with her smiles...

Day 720

The solicitor came in today (amidst cheers and whistles) and told me the case would be tomorrow. I get to wear my own clothes tomorrow and huggy guard kept smiling at me and telling me how proud he was. I really like him.

Day 719

I got another chance to have a shower today and Huggy guard said that I'd be getting one all week. That'll make a nice change

Day 718

£854,506.23 An amount that made me fall back onto my bed when I read it. Planned compensation, said the solicitor's letter, based on loss of earnings, unjust conviction, trauma etc. I wonder if I can stay a few more weeks ?

Day 717

2J was a little quiet today. Every time huggy guard walked out onto the courtyard, he headed over to the other side. Wonder what's happened there?

Day 716

Another letter, this time it was confirmation of my earnings. Earnings. That seems a long time ago. I wrote the right figures into the right boxes, and gave it to huggy guard to return.

Day 715

Got a letter today from the Solicitor. She said that the case is pretty much wrapped up and that next weeks court case could be interesting. I suddenly felt nervous at the thought.

Day 714

Keep looking around my cell for "Alterations". Nothing that I can see. Apart from the vent being blocked up again. Taxpayers money wasted again I guess.

Day 713

Back in my cell, and nothing has changed. I asked huggy guard what "alterations" I should be seeing, as I felt his builder had ripped him off. He simply smiled, shook his head and tapped his nose. I am not nosey!!

Day 712

Currently sitting in 3F on the other side of the prison at the moment, looking out over the courtyard, and if I strain my neck and balance on the end of the bed, I can see Lou's window!! Happy today!

Day 711

Huggy guard came by today and said that he needed to move me into another cell tomorrow, just for the one day. Something about some "alterations".

Day 710

2J is getting on my nerves. He keeps trying to sit with me in the courtyard, and I'm trying to wave to Lou!

Day 709

Well that was a bit of a disappointment. It wasn't Lou, it was my Solicitor. I guess the name Chris could be male or female, and I thought my solicitor was male. However, she did explain a few things to expect, and said that it was safer to talk than to write as apart from Lou's father, there were people in here not to trust. You can't trust people in prison? Well that was a revelation.

Day 708

Just had a shower, shave, hair cut and my cleaned weekend clothes early, thanks to Huggy Guard. Feel presentable enough to meet Lou now. Not sure what time she is coming down. Wait, I hear whistles and cheers echoing down the hallway..

Day 707

Got a reply from Lou, and she's going to pop in tomorrow to talk to me. I've not had an external visitor since I have been here. Not one!

Day 706

Got another letter from the new Solicitor, telling me that there will be a court case set for 3 weeks time. Today is a good day.

Day 705

Wrote a letter to Lou, feel I can write her name now that Huggy Guard told me it was his daughter, and he's in control here at the moment. Highlighted Simons name and signed against it to say that I knew that name and put the pages back into the letter. Will be interesting to see what happens now.
 

Day 704

So after breathing and controlling my self a little more the information sinks in about Simon. That little rat!

Day 703

I passed by my opportunity to walk today, because I felt sick. Sick because of a name I saw in the list. Huggy guard came to check on me and I simply pointed to the name. He smiled and nodded as if he knew all along. I feel very angry today.
