Filling Boiled Water
Fountain Pen Drawing  2014.01.10.

Nothing is more desireable than a warm cup of something in cold weather. All it should take, from boiling water to an electric kettle, is pushing a button! But one can’t always do as he likes, especially in prisons. You don’t find the similar conveniences in a prison. It’s not an option to place an electric kettle in a cell.

Kitchen laborers push carts loaded with heat-preserving barrels along every work yard and ward-dorms. Whoever needs it brings their own thermal bottles for filling. Imagine the whole process from the boilers in the kitchen to the individual bottles takes more than an hour and how warm the water is going to be at the end.

The laborer who is filling various bottles is in charge of the segregation wards. He spends more than ten minutes from filling to delivering. This is likely the only “benefit” for the rule-breaking inmates that others don’t get to enjoy.

天氣好冷，喝杯熱的暖暖身子吧！
開水到電熱水壺按個鈕就有了嘛！但人在江湖身不由已，人在監獄由不得你。蹲苦窯可不像在社會這樣方便，牢房裡要電熱水壺可門兒都沒有。
炊場雜役推著裝滿開水的保溫桶給各工場、舍房，各單位需要的人再帶保溫壺裝，從炊場鍋爐到個人保溫壺一趟路下來大概花個一小時以上，可以想想這開水還能多熱呢？
看隔離舍的雜役正在分裝熱水，從裝到送大概只十來分鐘吧，比起其他收容人這或許是違規收容人唯一的優惠吧！
