Being in prison was good fun, new, exciting, it was horrible! Through my mind things like “loser”, “useless”, “coward”, “irresponsible” came across all the time. The hardest thing for me to fight against was the image I had of myself. I was aware that my mind could take me down I’ve always known that, but there wasn’t any alcohol or drugs; no “run away”, no nothing… FACE IT! – I don’t want to!! – There is no escape for you, GO ON! … and I did it and you know what, once you face your fears, they just vanished and things became less traumatic.

I don’t know if you can do this, but I will invite for a drink the first person who post a comment in here!!!
We`ll have to go for the drink in 3 weeks time, cos I`m off to italy, innit? But cheers for it!!
ps. I`m happy that you got something very good out of your experience. We`re all happy that you`re back.
That’s amazing!
I get so excited listening to every new chapter and the last one really kept me wanting more…
The write up is very moving and explains a lot about what is going on inside (inside people and inside prison).
I always used to think that prisons were inhuman and terrible and useless, and although it obviously is a difficult experience, i now see the positive aspects of it all! It is like after so many messages from the universe were ignored, the only choice for inner growth was to force one into aloneness, reflection and change through the prison experience…
I also find from personal reflection that the most traumatic and painful experiences on the human level are always the most transformative and beneficial on the soul level. So thank you for these words of wisdom, honesty and strength Billy, and a great message of hope for the world here! Bravo!
Oh and what a bummer! Mal got in there before me for the drink!!!
You got it Mal, hope you have a good time in Italy, Thanks for those comments Thierry, the next episode will be there soon!! by the way, I’m looking forward to see your first blog.

Come on Thierry… I can tell you, you are not shy, actually, everything but shy, I think you should make an audio diary, just choose a subject and talk for 2 or 3 minutes and see how it looks. If you need to do some editing, I’ll be there to help
Thanks for sharing your life with me, dear friend.
I am glad that you get to face yourself and stop escaping life.
Life is a gift and it is time to get the most of it… give gratitude and love to everyone around you and cherish your serounding who care for you very much, bro. I looking forward to see you…

Thanks Nadia, that’s sweet… hope you get to listen to the next episode which I will upload in a few minutes.
This is so pretty! Lovely music, beautiful voice and brilliantly edited.
I hope it gets an award or some big recognition.
I am amazed by the logos at the bottom too.
Most interesting. Could a disabled person join this to express their sexual
inprisonment?
Hi Dr Tuppy and thanks for your comment, I’m feeling quite flattered… Of course you can join this blog, but I am afraid we are talking about arts and I don’t think sexual content is what we are looking for… do you paint? do you write? sing maybe? that is more than welcome. By the way, we will have the launch of this website on Thursday 8th at St John’s Waterloo, if you live in London, come around. check http://tenfeetaway.wordpress.com/news/ Hope to hear from you
