My Story

Life has taught me many tough and, at times, exciting lessons. In this diary, one of those lessons was being detained while awaiting trial. I wrote down every event that took place, from the food that I ate to the conditions I had to sleep in.

I was challenged to adapt to prison life and forced to share one shower and two toilets with forty other individuals. The emotions flooded me, and I felt the fear. And yet I could not show any weakness. I had been detained for three weeks, and it felt like three years.

Every day brought new challenges, then there's the harsh reality of stepping on the wrong toes and not getting out alive. You can read all this and more. This is my story.
