I think i've mentioned about how deep alcatraz makes me feel.
So deep that i wont ever forget. The impact is huge, and impressionable. And because of that, i open up and now its etched in my brain.
The pain, the sorrow, the struggles.
Ib mild terms, i think it was like living in a vast deep dark sea with absolute no one around.
What kills people mostly, is the lack of human interaction.
I've read articles proving that without human interaction, kids grow up with many repercussions.
I dont vote for capital punishment, cause firstly i think violences begets violence and its a freaking vicious cycle. Secondly, the people involved in carrying out the punishment and the family of the punished are innocently being punished.
Honestly i think it weighs alot on a conscience. Killing someone no matter for the good or the bad.
Thirdly, if the sin is so terrible, wouldnt death be a much easier route?
Lock them up.
In alcatraz, a federal prison, in which they kept dangerous prisoners so to speak, it's a life worse than hell they say.
The words they speak, send chills down my spine. I remembered the audio tour. The voices of desolation.
In a cage filled with vilest people, only survivors survive. To escape, its a gamble tryna swim to nearby shores. They either got shot when they are caught, or died while trying. The water's too cold, apparently it was said that there were sharks surrounding alcatraz.
'I'm dead, inside'
That was one of the sentences that affected me the most.
That place makes you lose hope. Hope is what keeps you going in life. Its what makes you push forward when you got tired. Lose that and you'll lose life itself.
Damn. Im speaking from the third person's language. Again.
