I am currently serving a 6 year sentence with 2½ on the bottom. I’m currently awaiting an interstate transfer back home to Perth WA as I was extradited from Perth to Brisbane.

‍

This is my first time in prison, and for the last 9 months of my sentence, I have been trying to get used to how prison is and it’s very hard, especially for someone like me with a brain injury and a few disabilities.

‍

Trying to do my time is very difficult for me as I don’t have my family here and not being able to have visits from them or anyone is extremely depressing.

‍

I just want to get back to my home state WA so I can do my time with my family support where I’m happy and have all my supports.

‍

I feel lonely and sad a lot, I feel people don’t understand me and there isn’t much support for me in this prison. I feel like I have to walk on eggshells all the time just to survive.

‍

Anyway when I get transferred back I will be so much happier. Apart from all that, I hope everyone in prison all over Australia has a great new year.

‍

Peace :)
