estion here as to how to ’ change the jail system to one ‘ of rehabilitation instead

of the deterent effect used now.

I guess the thing you learn most in the Queen's is how sweet life is on the outside. Not that this is what you should learn but it is what I learned. I had been dis- content; complained about my mother's food and parental restrictions. Boy was I screw- ed up! Never again! I feel now that I will enjoy life ~ to its fullest and that I will appreciate so many small, insignificant things as I ne- ver have before.

I am definitely looking for- ward to a few good night's sleep. Maybe my mind will wake up again. It's been pre- ~' tty draggy this last while.

You know what I learned most?; I learned who my friends are! It takes a time of trouble to see them come to the sur- ‘ _ . . face and lend a helping hand. and all 10V198 it. (What 1f. I've known a lot of people he was a frult?) in my days and it's nice to

Here I sit in the coffee shop trying to think of what to say in my concluding ar- ticle. I think, "Gee, I'm getting out tomorrow! I'll be a free man again! It feels goodt!" '

But, I wonder just what I have learned if anything, from this past experience. Maybe I'll find out right . now.

I remember back to my law- yer advising me to change my plea to guilty on the day of my trial, and I should be able to get all of Decem- ber off on temporary leave. So the first thing I learned is not to believe everything your lawyer tells you.

Next, I think back to my grand entrance to the Queen's. This big oaf oaf of a guard ordered me to strip in a thunderous voice. I think I shrunk about two inches. Four mounties, three guards, all watching me humble my- self to this oaf's orders

too. Good luck with courses, have a terrific summer and keep cool. . Love & Kisses, Sidney T. Kidd P.S. Be sure to drink a beer for me sometime as I can't drink all that I feel like drinking right now. Goodbye Queen's! Hell Lifelt! V

V. the guy took the fit. I still

remember his eyes bulging

and watching him come back to life after a good whack on the chest.

I still remember Jimmy being kicked out in the morning with no shoes, braces on his legs, only to be back that night with feet swollen and blistered, surely in great pain.

And of course, I'll never forget Wilf. It seemed that we became quite close in the short time we knew each other. Such a kind, good man. Seems the good men all die too young.

After Christmas the day parole routine started and a whole new trip! New quart- ers and out everyday! Here I learned the importance of a formal education. If you can't think of any other reason to go to college re- member that at least it can keep you out of jail.

I remember the first day I was approached with the idea of writing about the place. I didn't realize how little was known about the place 3 the terrible conditions, the rotten food, the lack of ac— tivity, the ego-concious guards, the problems of al- coéwlics in jail, the chill fa cor and the heat factor (f >u1ous freaky heating sys- te.é and most of all the in- ab Lity to change any of it.
