My name is Rocket. I am writing this letter from Wolston Correctional Centre.
I would like to say something about the Christmas lunch that was served here.
I am nearly 72 years of age, and I have been in a prison or institution for all but eight or ten years of my life. So I would know a bit about Christmas lunch in the prison system.
In 1995 when I came to prison, Christmas dinner consisted of a serve of cold chicken, a slice of ham, and salad. You do also get some plum pudding with custard, you do not see that anymore. Where have those days gone?
The Christmas dinner that was served at Wolston was some sort of rice dinner. What has happened to the Christmas dinners we used to get in the prison system? Go back to the old days any time. They would have been preferred.

I was always drawing as a kid, and when the opportunity came up to do an art course at age 17 I went for it.
I remember our living room used to be filled with hundreds of CDs. My mum is where my love of music came from.
You can have as many support workers and parole officers as you can get, but it will never make you stop doing crimes. It has to come from within yourself.
