I just came out of it and told you about my biggest experience in the five years inside. The tiger head on my chest, the snake on my arm, and the dragon on my back can be said to be more than just a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Why are both prisons and detention centers pediatrics.
On the evening of August 14, 2019, I was sent to a detention center by the public security organs. In the same case as me, there were about 13 people who were imprisoned on the same day.
Due to the large number of people, the detention center did not have so many study transition numbers, and I was assigned 209, which is a dead number. That is, the people who live in it have been locked up for a few months at least, and more than five years at most. Basically, they are waiting for the prosecution or waiting for the court to hammer the hammer and determine the sentence.
I went in at about 8 o'clock in the evening. When the door opened, everyone inside was sitting in the Chase Shop, watching the TV hanging on top of the TV where I entered. When I stepped in, they all stared at me as if I was better than TV.
The warden behind me instructed the people inside to make arrangements, and as the door slammed shut, the two strong brothers jumped off the plank as if they were going to clean me up.
It was hot outside and hot inside. They all wore only pants on the lower half of their bodies, and only a dress with no sleeves and no buttons on their upper bodies, and an open chest. Walking barefoot next to me, two streams of sweat mixed with a little fox smell came to my nose.
I thought it was the same as the legend had to go through. Be mentally prepared. Let me fill a basin of water, squat down as a steering wheel, and do so. Give a bar of soap, wash the soap before going to sleep, and do it. Avoid the wall, eat a few fists, and do the same.
As a result, they asked, "What kind of place are you from, what are you doing, and have you brought money in?" After answering, he said that he was full of fellow villagers. The other one, who was about the same age as me, said I would be sentenced to a maximum of three years. Then I saw that there was a tiger head tattooed on the chest of a very strong person, and I said that I also had it.
The young one asked me to take it off and look at it, and after reading it, I was told that my tiger head was not the same as the very strong one. Mine is tattooed, and the strong one is pricked with a needle. Instantly made me weak. A tiger head is the size of two palms, and it takes at least 2,000 stitches to use a needle. My machine has painless lines, too pediatric.
The reason why I say pediatrics. It's not that my tattoos aren't strong enough. But there are too few tattoos in the number, 26 people, and less than 5 have tattoos. I used to think that everyone who came in was a big brother, and even if it wasn't a big brother, it was a ruthless character.
After coming in, I found that there were tattoos that could not scare people. Whoever is afraid of whom, in the territory of the detention center, there is the state behind it. can't pretend to be pretending, they are all alone, there are no co-defendants (friends), and their courage has been reduced by more than half.
Nor will biased words be heard. Stayed with the group for three days, every night when I took a shower. Touch my tattoo and look at it as a painting. Someone asked how much the tattoo costed. Someone asked how much it costs to tattoo a tiger's head and how much does it cost to tattoo a dragon. I also asked if the tattoo hurts and whether I want to take anesthetic.
I was stupid, thinking that they were also going to go out to tattoo, and I answered patiently. I know to ask them if they go out and get tattoos, so I recommend a master. The result is to ask, go out and talk about it, or just say that you don't need to tattoo these scares.
It made me feel embarrassed and made me feel that tattoos were too pediatric. Because there are real ruthless people in the number, there are no tattoos on his body, and he takes a hammer to open a scoop for others. Many others did not have tattoos, some of them were eloquent, some of them sued for a huge amount, and some of them had illegal gains of seven or eight figures.
And I, gathered a crowd to fight, and came in. If you don't get a penny, you will have to go to jail for more than five years. What's the use of tattoos, I can only go to jail for tattoos and my buddies' righteousness.
There was a time in it where I had been reflecting on a question. If, when I was 20 years old, I didn't follow my friends to get tattoos, and I followed my friends to play prestige, and I grew up with so-called ambition. Is it better to find a job, or teach children how to swim in a swimming pool, and not reject me because of tattoos. Now I'm a coach and even a swimming pool partner. Of course, these are later words.
Now let's talk about going to jail.
Gathered a crowd to fight, and was sentenced to five years and six months in prison. An hour after I was sent from the detention center to the prison, I already felt the difference between having a tattoo and not having one.
After entering the detention center, those who do not have tattoos stand on one side, and those who have tattoos stand halfway. Those of us who have tattoos need to write what is tattooed in the material and how big the area is. There are also people who take pictures of our tattoos with cameras for archiving.
Three minutes without a tattoo to do the dossier, and ten minutes for those of us with tattoos. You know why? It is necessary to collect why we have tattoos, whether there are criminal gangs, and whether there are other suspected crimes related to gangsters outside.
If they do not confess during the period of imprisonment and detention, they will be found guilty of omission during the period of serving their sentences. Except for being sent to the strict management team, the sentence cannot be commuted within three years. Even if the sentence has been commuted before, it must be revoked. Those with tattoos asked why tattoos were treated differently, and the old prisoners in the reception center whispered to us. Fight the black and eliminate the evil, starting with some tattoos.
After leaving the team, it is the same as being in the detention center. There were 16 people in the cell, and even fewer had tattoos, only three. I, a drug dealer, an organization of prostitution. It's similar in the other cells, as if our three of us have the most favorite tattoos.
In prison, in the labor workshop where I am, the production team leader has no tattoos, the quality inspection has no tattoos, and the packers have no tattoos. The statistician did not have a tattoo, the computer clerk did not have a tattoo, and the night shift post did not have a tattoo. Many, many jobs in light labor reforms do not have tattoos.
The attitude of the people inside towards tattoos is the same as when they take a shower in a detention center. It's also this one who came to touch it, that one came to ask how much the tattoo was, and then another one to see what the tattoo was, and asked what the tattoo was about. Some people say that the tattoo is not like it. The dragon has more feet, the snake is not like the bamboo leaf green, and the tiger is not the Siberian tiger。。。。。。。
However, the attitude towards tattoos is mostly a joke, and it is really different from the outside. It's really easy to find more "friends" when you have a tattoo outside, it's true that there are a lot of people who drink, and it's true that when there are a lot of people, people next to you flock to it. It is true that it brings trouble when looking for a job, and it is true that over the years when I am not doing well, I have been criticized many times by relatives and friends on tattoos.
After I was in prison, I always felt that it was the tattoo that changed the trajectory of my life. Because, tattoos didn't make my path brighter. On the contrary, it walks crookedly. However, it's not that I'm also biased against tattoos. Just some summing up of my own experience with a crime in prison.
I also know that there are still many tattooed people in this world, and they are very successful. Someone is successful in football, basketball, sports. There are people who are also successful in the entertainment industry. Someone is also successful in other ways.
However, I am one of the ungifted people, and having a tattoo not only did not make me successful, but made me a prisoner. And people who don't have tattoos can really engage in many professions in the country. Studying for the civil service, joining the army, and even being honest with business partners.
Finally: I got a tattoo at the age of 20, and at that time the tattoo was just to show off and meet more big brothers. I hope that the younger brothers and sisters around the age of 20 will not be prestigious. Tattoo all the heroes on the beam, no matter how majestic it is, when you get inside, you have to squat down when you see the police officer. Don't be curious about tattoos, just a colorful painting. Don't know the eldest brother to get a tattoo, the eldest brother is not having a good time inside, stepping on the sewing machine. Real big brothers, most of them don't have tattoos.
In addition, if you don't have talent in many aspects, and I can only work to support yourself for a day, don't get a tattoo yet. Especially if you are currently in school or will continue to go to school, do not get a tattoo.
