The trusted prisoners were allowed to tend to the gardens of the officers and even decorate their houses as part of the rehabilitation scheme. They loved his wife who treated them as any other workman she might have in the house. In return they saved their sweet rations for her children!<br />Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628541004778657122.post-54408860216096152002016-05-09T19:37:21.575+10:002016-05-09T19:37:21.575+10:00Not a happy post at all but a very interesting one...Not a happy post at all but a very interesting one.

While people need to be punished for their crimes sometimes we do go too far - and some individuals seem to enjoy doing their worst to their fellow human beings... (and other times the punishment does not go far enough - but that is another story!!)<br />Thank you for the rather sad but interesting post!<br />Hugs xxStitching Nonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350627941575473528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628541004778657122.post-49871887262882995602016-05-09T16:48:07.034+10:002016-05-09T16:48:07.034+10:00Definitely not a happy post but we have our fair s...Definitely not a happy post but we have our fair share of bad prisons here in the states too.
