Indoor Exercises
Fountain Pen Drawing  2017.01.23.


The prison doesn’t allow many exercise hours - roughly one to two hours every week in the sport court. Some units like the incommunicado wards only allow few minutes, enough to finish one cigarette only. Exercises are not allowed inside the wards according to the regulations. If someone gets caught, his points will be deducted. But from controllers’ point of view, daily exercises do more good than harms. For one, more time for them do explicit activities means less time to engage in other activities under the surface. One to two hours of exercises a week is not sufficient and do not provide health benefits. When they fall ill, it increases our risk of management. Officers want to limit indoor exercises to avoid conflicts in the crowded wards. Inmates are aware of that, too. They keep an alert mind when they try to exercise in their wards so that officers won’t notice or take points off them.

前幾天朋友問我，聽說監獄裡的受刑人為了怕被欺負，所以要把身體練壯，比拳頭比肌肉才比得過人家。

其實怕被欺負練身體的少，多數是怕生病和為了殺時間，監所裡運動時間並不多，每週大概只有一到兩小時可以到運動場運動，某些單位例如禁見房，只給一支菸的時間，可以讓你出房伸個懶腰，去運動場運動？你想得美呀！
依照監獄裡的規定，在牢房內是不能運動的，要是抓到在房裡運動就要扣分，不過對管理員來說，收容人每天保持運動其實是好事，能花點時間從事我們一目暸然的活動，也少些從事枱面下活動的可能性，每週一兩小時的運動當然不足，對健康自然不利，他們生了病對我們來說也是相對增加管理風險，不過長官認卻為禁止房內運動以避免在擁擠的房內發生肢體衝突，所以這點收容人也很清楚，他們還是會想辦法在房裡運動，不過得要罩子放亮點，免得長官來巡時會被扣分。
