have windows which you can talk out of to your neighbour in
the next room. If you put your arm out you can have contact
- which if they need support is comforting for them or you.
Why i tell you this is a picture that will always be fresh
in my mind is that of two primates holding hands through the
bars of their separate cages. The difference is I'm here of
my own doing and I will get out alive and will endure no torture.
They did not get out and they were tortured mentally and physically.
Do not feel sorry for me. Do not feel sorry for them - I'm
