Unfortunately, if you were in prison, I think you'd be having more of the warm and squishy and PAINFUL feelings deep down inside.
nick won't know for a while. the newspaper he gets every day is censored and this story if it appears in Japan Times copy he gets daily will be blacked out with black ink.
However, a bloke i know, had his paper black out once in the Tokyo Detention House, a small news brief in the Japan Times had been blacked out he told me, so what did he do?

What was it?
It was a news brief from Hokkaido about a jail inmate there who committed suicide by stuffing toilet paper into his mouth and choking. Apparently, the guards at the TDH didn't want my friend to read that story, in case he might do it himself. He said he never laughed so hard in his 41 days there!

maybe, just maybe, this will turn the tide in Nick's favor. Let's hope so.

I've been following this Corby girl story in Bali. Man is she fucked. But I don't understand the rath the family and the people of Australia have toward the Indonesian gov't. I don't doubt that there was a drug smuggling ring at the Sydney airport, but if you look at it from their point of view, a girl enters Indonesia with 4.1 kg of marijuana. As far as they are concerned, she is guilty. I think it is up to the Austrailian gov't to show that there was a drug ring and that they could have put the drugs in here body bag. Scary story though.
