"You will always be on the free side, buddy. I'll never see the outside of this exclusive prison. There is no chance for sex. This is a monastery prison. Not the normal kind of a prison. I have a 6 foot by 5 foot cell by myself with a 2 foot by 1 foot window with bars so high up that I can't even see out of it. When the door closes behind me, there is no light except from that window. Unless the door window happens to be open for some odd reason. No beams where a person can hang from. Which means there is no chance of hanging myself. I have a bed that is attached to the floor and a set of sheets and 1 blanket. I do not even get to watch tv unless i have enough merit points earned to watch what ever the warden deems fit to be seen by us inmates. No cussing allowed either. No smoking, no alcoholic drinks, no sweets, no seconds. Much like Oliver Twist. I am never full enough to say that I have over ate. Sure I get protein but not always in the form of real meat. I do penance for my sins daily, usually 1 to 3 hours a day after working for 10 hours. I get to weed the garden if I am good. Break rocks if I am not. If I am really bad, I get solitary confinement. Then I must do penance for 12 hours a day to get a slice of dry bread and a glass of milk two times a day. There is no parole for me because of my crimes. I have been here for five very long years now. I am just 29 years old and will live to be around 85. Over a half of a century to go. 56 years more or less according to statistics. My family can't stand the thought of me any more. My fiancee never said a word and is most likely is married with a child or two by now. 

Dan was the lucky one and I hate the idea of him ratting me out like he did. But I do know that if I was him, well, I would have done the very same thing as he did. I now know that I should have not only not done what I did but I should have been man enough to admit that I did what I did. Maybe I could have parole one day. I messed up big time and now I am paying for the mess up for the rest of my life. I doubt that anyone set me up because I did what I did. Not everyone gets into this prison but I would like to know who gave my name to them. And who it was that arranged for me to do my time here rather than in a normal prison. 

I have nothing to lose or gain. Even if you give me money I can't use it. It would go to the family's relatives. I am not allowed gifts because of the murders I had arranged. So what exactly do you want to know?" Matt spoke in a glum tone for he knew that he was nothing but a number here unless someone asked for him. Even then they most likely have to look up his name and see who he was.
