Sounds like Boggo Road Jail was an interesting place. Now you have me intrigued – what was under the coffee table? Or is this something I shouldn’t be asking!

Hi E36, thanks for your comment. I thought the graffitti provided a valuable insight to jail life, that was until you left your comment! It definitely adds to the post. Hope things are good for you now.

Memories of this place come back to me as an inmate (NOT PROUD OF IT)
back in 1978 aged 18,and this place was indeed full of hard men with no
hope of rehabilitation, bashings rapings stabbings and guards with filthy
attitudes,cells without windows the ever smelly sh-t bucket washed in 3A yard every morning,no work.there was no graffitting wall and doors because if you were court drawing it was 1 day in the hole (black hole)-a place to scare the tuffest villans.
Still one day when it opens again I plan to go have a look at E36 and maybe leave a message on the wall.

I'm surprised that they weren't made to clean the graffiti off the walls. .-= Dan´s last blog ..Five ways to increase your travel fund =-.
