Special - Offences commited by my roommates

Readers may be curious on the backgrounds of my three roommates. Below are the information which I am sharing based from what I know from them. I will only reveal whatever I can. I sincerely welcome discussions/ comments on the questions that which have stated below.

----------------------------------------------------------

ID: 5XX1
AGE: 26
OFFENCE COMMITED: AH LONG RUNNER (AH LONG = LOAN SHARK)
SENTENCE: 6 MONTHS

BIO: He is a guy with tattoos all over his upper body, a 2nd timer to jail. Married and now have a baby girl age about 10 months. He was caught for assisting loansharks distributing namecards.

Not much to comment on him but I hope he will find his right path back after he’s out. I have a question to share with all readers and I am sure you already have the answer in your mind. But what I really hope is you readers can understand what I am trying to express…

1) Who will be the one end up supporting the expenses and taking over of his wife who is a housewife and his baby girl for these 6 months?

2) Who’s the one suffering the most and is it fair for them?

---------------------------------------------------------


ID: 5XX3
AGE: 40
OFFENCE COMMITED: FIGHTING
SENTENCE: 9 MONTHS

BIO: He is guy with tattoos all over his body till his leg, a 4rd timer to jail. Used to take drugs, rioting, fighting since young. Nothing much to share and comment about his cases and his underworld background. What really interest me to share with you readers is his personal life.

He got a brother and both of his parents are still around. But his only brother (whom he told me every month he make good money on work, but only give and spent for his wife) do not take care and visit their parents for years. Both of his parents are old, one suffering long-term sickness while another hardly walk and move, yet got to go pickup and collect empty cans/ paperbox for survival. 5XX3 is the only one whom have support and take care the parents for years. As he is already a ex-convict since young, he can hardly find any job's salary which is never enough for the three of them to survive.

To some of the readers here may think 5xx3 is a hopeless feak, some may think he never try hard enough to change and walk the right path, some even think so where did he find money and how they managed to survive till now..

After spent time chatting with him learn about his background, I start to think about it myself and trying to find answers..Maybe you readers can think together with me.

1. Do he 'really' have a choice to do what he hope?

2. Who's to blame? Himself or our society that led him this way returning to jail again and again?

3. Even with the help of SCORE and yellow ribbon, can he really get a job’s that is enough for him and his 2 parents to survive?

4. What can he work and will he walk the right path after he is out next year?

5. Can the society really accept him without doubts inspite of his numberous offence’s records and his image appearance (a body full of tattoos) if he wants to change a new life after he's out?

--------------------------------------------------


ID: 5XX5 (3RD TIMER)
AGE: MID 40s
CASE: CHEATING
SENTENCE: 18 MONTHS
BIO: A guy whom never revealed much on himself nor his offence so I got not much to share about him. But hes always the one encouraging and giving advices to us (me and other 2). All I know his ‘BIG’ cheating case to published in papers in mid July 2011.
---------------------------------------------------


I already start to learn and explore alot Throughout the few days with them, Here’s a advice to all readers.

‘Treasure and Learn to live on, always be enough on what you have now.
Never take things for granted or spending all your time on something which will never bring you lifetime happiness.

Anything can happen in life! You may be rich today and be poor tomorrow. You may be poor today and be rich tomorrow. You may be alive today and die suddenly tomorrow. You may be healthy today and end up in hospital tomorrow. In life, anything can happen.. Never assume ‘impossible’ or thinking that ‘It wont happen to me’ or ‘I am not the unlucky one’.

I am a very good example: I used to have a warm beloved family and my own stable decent business that I have spent years on it. Like most of you.. I always told myself that I wont do something stupid and end up in jail. But due to 1 wrong move and human's top weakness <Greed> , I destroy everything myself and nearly lost everything.

I don’t care if some of you may think that there are motives behind me writing all these. Some may think I am just want to gain frame and attention while some may think I really not nothing to do. Some even comment that my sentences is so short only and yet want to influences others. While some are happily enjoying reading my story for fun and entertainment.

Whatever it is, I want to take this chance to thank all readers for spending your time following my thread for the past few days till now. I also sincerely thanks those readers whom have encourage me through email and pm.

Lastly, I want to thank those brothers contacted me whom doesn’t want to reveal themselves and yet want to share their jail experience through me.

It's not the end of my thread yet, more to come on my encounters in CPC throughout the weeks...

Yours is nothing compared to my stay. From old CP and to new spanking cluster A. From kitchen to tea room watching live Singapore tv. Length of stay? 2 years plus cause no tagging as got outstanding credit case. Fuck those suck blood banks.

Family, don't even go there. They suffered and so did I. My story? Too lazy to write them down. There are many others in the old thread that had longer sting than you. So yours considered holiday camp.

Nice writing thou. If you want to pen my story, I'll consider if there is publishing writes to it.

Yellow ribbon is pure bs from the party against people. When I declared I was ex offender, I never seem to get the job even when I'm more than qualified. When I don't declare, I got it. Even gov agencies don't employ ex offenders so why should the sme and mnc follow?

Mind you, my case was not sex related, ah long, steal money etc. And yet got turned down.

Haha.. I strongly agree with you on this point. All i can add in is sometimes people just are being forced by the society to do things which they never intend do.

We do in the cell turn by turn.. Yard time don have lah.. cos got too many inmates from other cellrooms together and the toilet at yard is open-concept type.
