More on Prison Life in Santa Lucy

As I said, the only prison on the island is run by the Brothers who are actual monks.  Their prison is very clean and hygenic.  The food is actually good and filling.  But no prisoner is given contact with any other prisoner.  Each is in his cell alone.  Worse, noise is prohibited.  If one makes this an issue they will be sorry.  The Brothers tend to be kind but if you shout about and make trouble you will find your head collared with smothering linens.  The only light in the cells are from above, from the sun and the moon.  It's a lonely way to do long time.  Not everyone leaves sane.  In fact, not everyone leaves.  Some find something there and join the Brothers.
