Leonard Cohen sings " Hey, that's is no way to say good bye ". Maurice's sister sent this message: Maurice was robbed and beaten up so that he has been bedridden for a few hours. The authorities at the Prison then picked him up and dumped...
The news had reached me before the F Wing Manager informed me of this 'transfer'. We all hope it's a good sign, even though the first phone call was of too poor quality to be worth listening to, let alone paying for. And, of course, it has...
