Tell me about the Grocer. I know he would visit you occasionally visit or send food.

Oh the Grocer, yeah he was real nice, when people was watching that is. He bring by some fried meats, bring by some pies, fresh veggies. Very good pal, when people was watching him.

What the stories don't say 'bout him is what he'd do when it was just us. He weren't allowed in the cells, rule say you gotta stay behind the bars. Rules don't say a fuckin' thing 'bout pelting you with rocks and trash - and that's the least of it. Don't want to talk about the nastier ideas he'd come up with.

He would attack you?

That's just how it was with him. One minute you're laughing, joking, having a good time together with food and drinks. Next thing you know he's screamin atcha, tossin what he had, bangin the bars with his soup spoon makin a racket - make the guards come, blame you for it.

Did you ever report him?

I did, reluctantly, for all the good it did me.. Things are bad in there, few minutes of good food and a friendly face is what keep you going. Made it worth the abuse. Can't say I would have spoke up 'cept what happened the last time he visit.

See my face? You wanna know how I got these scars? Grocer come by, say he brought somethin REAL SPECIAL this time, told me come closer to see. That little psycho threw an entire pot of Fish Head Soup in my face, the bastard. Burned me up real good, laid up infirmary for three weeks, third degree burns. That's how I got these scars.
