borstal-life:4 harsh years of wearing a plaid skirt, tie tab, peter pan blouse, and wearing your hair in pig tails. You were bold and brash and 18 when you came in. Now, at 22, you stand at attention, march everywhere you go, never speak unless spoken to or unless you ask permission, and feel the paddle every Saturday evening. You can’t remember life outside the Borstal. You scrub floors and filthy toilets every morning and attend classes on deportment, the Bible, math, English, and then you are locked back in your cell by 3:00 p.m. in silence until lights out at 8:00 p.m. 6 inspections and counts per day. No TV, no social media, no internet, no movies, 1 visit per month from family and they rarely make the trip anymore. You heard 2 years ago that the guy you had given your virginity to, who had promised to wait for you, married the girl you had considered your best friend. -- source link
