Jail & Tattoos

Today I went to PRISON!!!

Don't worry I'm not in trouble, Tim took me to Her Majesty's Prison aka Fox Hill Prison. We got to interview three American immates at the prison/jail. The conditions of the jail were terrible. First the roads were not smooth at all, and a lot of the facilities did not look up to 21st standards. The inmates actually wear the black and white suits that you think of when you think of prison. The low level security inmates had the black and white stripped suits, and the high level security inmates wore red and white suits.

It was really sad to see the conditions that they were forced to live in :-\

The first guy we saw was sentenced to 5 years in prison for credit card fraud, and the following two were in jail awaiting their trials.

For lunch the crew (Lexxee, Brian, Kiah, Miguel, Jonathan, Zach, his girlfriend Melissa, and I went to Hard Rock for lunch - I had the best quesadilla!!! :)

Afterwards, Alex and I got henna tattoos at "The Tattoo King." She got the Capricorn sign on the back of her neck, and I got a butterfly with some tribal bands coming out on the sides.

Next it was off to Daleena's for a surprise party for Tim and Nichole Walton, who are leaving in 2 weeks. Daleena danced for us, and her mom made some Indian food. It was a lot of fun until we tried to leave... the night ended in Daleea getting lectured in addition to myself and Alex...

Then we chilled at the Marine House and watched some movies, where I illegally stayed over as Ray and I both fallen asleep on the couches (separate ones).

Bye Bruno :(


Bruno, one of the marines and my birthday buddy, left this morning for DC :( We took him out last night. First we went to Outback for dinner, followed by Senor Frogs for some drunks, then Aura, needless to say we were out late. I did manage to prove myself as a good wing person. :)

I'm going to miss you Bruno!!!

COMPLY!!!

Today was a usual boring Monday, until... I got news that the Marines would be having a drill today, and I would get to be an intruder aka BAD GUY!

Kishawn, Alex, Tonya and I were all bad guys and had to find places to hide. Alex and I were told we were not wearing enough clothes to get weapons?

The boys did not find me, they actually stood a few inches away from me and walked right past me. :) I was hiding under these big boards that were up against the wall (that formed a triangle of sorts which I hid in, which had the podium in front of it.

Kishawn was the 1st to be found and died, next was Alex, then me. Tonya was not found.

Eventually in their 2nd run of the place they found me, I ran from the hall into the Spiers room, into the kitchen where I was cornered by Ray and Andres who both had guns. Ray got me to the floor and handcuffed me. However he failed to tighten them and my hands came out - lol.

Leslie's Memorial

I just got back from Leslie's memorial. It was very sad and unlike any other in the sense that his Junkanoo group had rushed through the memorial.
