#691 Chris Covid Inside

So I'm not totally redundant from not doing anything for my mum

Chris

I am a fifty four year old man who is in a high security jail for importing drugs and being in possession of an illegal firearm.

During covid we were locked in for twenty three and a half hours a day and only allowed one phone call. I had to rotate my calls around my family, Then Dad got covid and died.

I was not allowed to go to the funeral.

I went to court for sentencing after two years, and received a twenty year sentence with eight more inside.

My brother was then diagnosed with terminal cancer and when he was moved to a hospice, I was not allowed to phone him . He died that night not giving me a chance to say goodbye.

My only comfort is I have a lovely family who visits every week and is waiting for me.
