Good morning.
Convict Bezotechestvo Boris
Born 1971.
Article 105 (Part 2) Life sentence
Any questions?
When will I have my exercise time? |
| 05:26:17 05:47:15 | Hmm… Bezotechestvo
17 AUGUST |
| 05:47:16 06:02:10 | “ROOM FOR LONG VISITS” |
| 08:36:21 09:30:07 | It’s 9.25 already
I place my hope in Thee, o Lord. Lend me Thine ear
And guide me Be for me a firm stronghold
Lead me out of the nets That were secretly set for me
My life has grown weak with sorrow
And my years in moaning
And my bones have withered
I am forgotten in people’s hearts like a dead man. I am like a broken vessel
because I hear the malicious talk of many.
It’s awful when they conspire against me
|
| 09:30:07 09:35:16 | Deliver me from the hands of my enemies and drive off their darkness. |
| 09:59:24 10:49:10 | Sometimes you think “I’ll come out of my cell and never go back.
I’ll end up lying somewhere in the corridor
I live only through Thy mercy, o Lord.”
Forgive me, Lord For thinking sometimes of death.
There are times when I want you to take me to you.
I’m at the end of my tether. |
| 11.02.17 11:09:20 | Five, this is post six People for the medical commission. |
| 11:15:24 11:42:07 | Everybody wants something Everybody needs something. |
| 12:43:06 12:56:06 | Some people say that the guards are nasty
We’re in here for life
Taking care of us |
| 13:29:06 14:28:12 | Some are waiting for death, But here even death runs away.
So awful That even death runs away from me |
| 17:14:17 17:33:18 | Lord! One thing I ask
Do not try me any more |
| 17:33:19 18:27:12 | Over the past year I have had such grave trials
Physical pain is not frightening
Sometimes it’s completely useless
I realized that while I was in the army
You can beat a man to death
But you still won’t get your way
He’ll still defy you
But you can kill a man with a couple of words
And he’ll become as obedient as a slave.
That’s the power of the word. |
| 18:37:09 19:15:13 |
Oh, Mama, Mama What are you and father doing now?
I’d like to see
I haven’t even seen my own daughter
And she’ll be EIGHT soon |
| 20:57:19 21:33:22 | When I was little I thought that
if it was raining here it was raining everywhere
Until I noticed – we were driving down the road and it was raining then we went further and it was gone.
Young children are all interesting.
If only I could go back to childhood now. |
| 21:50:13 23:33:24 |
O Lord! How many times did you warn me?
Sit down Borya, don’t fidget. Sit quietly. On your arse.
But I’m a fool. You told me in my sleep
To quieten down
My bones are getting covered with mould They’re beginning to creak
When winter comes, the wind’ll blow from the north.
Again we’ll be freezing. In winter the floor dries out so much it rings
In autumn and spring, though, its damp. |
|
25.40.01 27:01:03 |
We’ll break for a smoke in a moment . The swill truck’ll drive off soon
There’s always a stink when it stands under the window
You keep finding something to occupy yourself
To stop your life being like the life of the frogs in that fairy-tale “Thumbelina”
You’ve slept, now you can eat
You’ve eaten, now you can sleep |
| 27:01:04 27:42:21 | Exercise time! Out you come! Against the wall?
Got anything that’s not allowed?
No.
Stand up! Move! |
| 28:14:09 28:51:10 |
What a life… I’ll draw stars on the ceiling
Open your eyes and it’s like you’re outdoors
Under the open sky
The lamp instead of the moon and instead of the sun as well.
open your eyes and there’s the sky. |
| 31:25:23 32:16:22 | Got anything that’s not allowed?
No.
Go in! |
| 32:16:23 32:56:09 | There used to be capital punishment
But now it’s commuted
How perverted the human mind is.
Everything in the world is perverted.
I place my hope in Thee, o Lord.
I do not doubt, Lord, That Thou will bring me to freedom
It’s just all things in their time. |
| 33:04:17 33:55:06 | What is it today?
Pea.
Pea?
There’s porridge today. No fish.
How many days is the bread for?
Three days.
Any milk?
No |
| 33:55:07 34:14:07 | That’s all. Thanks.
Title: BORIS BEZOTECHESTVO
ESCAPE RISK KILLED THREE PEOPLE |
| 34:14:08 34:27:15 | They want to poison us. Cabbage and sprats in tomato sauce
Food like that’ll make any stomach ache. |
| 34:27:16 36:07:19 | It looks fine
But even dogs won’t eat the meat from the soup.
That’s a human being for you. There’s no muck that’ll finish him off.
O Lord, Heavenly Father
Bless this food and bread that Thou sendest me to eat
Bless it that it may be of benefit to me
Bless in the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen |
| 36:53:06 37:24:22 | You need to have something to keep you occupied, but now there’s nothing to do
Still you go to bed and the time has flown by unnoticed
Should I go mad? I haven’t tried that for a long time |
| 37:43:15 40:43:06 | It’s not easy any more to do a handstand
The fodder here is so light
I can’t manage handstands any more
Just press-ups
You can tell right away that I’m not 17 any more, but 35 – 36 soon. |
| 40:53:14 41:35:10 | Yes, the “Count” is changing
Did time in solitary And started to burst out laughing. He didn’t do that before.
Could I end up doing that?
I can’t let that happen. |
| 41:35:11 42:18:15 | 54800 – at last!
It’s as if it senses that I want to compete with it.
Lord, what a life sitting in prison and pressing buttons |
| 43:19:21 44:04:18 |
Well, that’s me shaved
Ask someone on the outside to shave without a mirror. He’ll be shocked.
|
| 44:05:19 44:13:04 |
What, he’ll say, without a mirror? I’ll cut myself to bits, he’ll say. |
| 44.13:05 44:31:04 |
Vitka next-door shaves blind.
He is blind, but he shaves himself.
He doesn’t need a mirror. Can’t see anyway.
So why shouldn’t I shave without a mirror? |
| 44:37:03 45:21:24 |
Why is it that in hospital You don’t feel like you’re in a common grave?
It’s a different atmosphere |
| 45:22:00 46:22:24 |
Of course, I won’t get any real treatment there, but I will get a rest.
I wonder, will they send me or not?
|
| 46:23:00 47:29:05 |
The Public Prosecutor General was replaced and you immediately detect changes.
Many prisoners are counting on some changes for the better.
But nothing’s certain.
The majority hope, but they know that
They write appeals.
I write them too. Up to now they just pass the buck… |
| 47:29:06 47:42:22 |
We were at the wedding for two days.
How did it go?
The first day my brother smashed up the car – my Lada
I said get it mended. Dad says we’ll have to sell it |
|
|
|
| 47:56:11 48:12:18 |
I’ll have coffee. Let it stand. I’ll make a brew in the evening. |
| 48:12:19 48:51:01 |
Hey! Spider! You’ll starve to death here.
Listen. I’m not a fly. |
| 49:12:08 49:38:21 |
There it is!
Hey, spider, your lunch flew away. I didn’t catch it. |
| 51.31:02 53:18:07 |
