A diary of Gerry Conlon

Gerry Conlon

30th January 1974. My first day in NWL Jail, when I arrived the guards said that I was going to spend all my remaining days in that jail and I had to accept it. Next, they washed me, and put all over me some kind of desinfectant and I went back to my cell.I was very confused and at the same time very frustrated with this situation, because I am here because of something I did not do, and because I am Irish.. I dont think I can handle 30 years in here but, after a couple of hours I looked outside my cell , and I saw my father all white covered by that desinfectant and he saw me too, and I started to scream and kicking my door with anger.

After one hour he appeared in my cell, I was happy for him to be here with me and to have his support, but at the same time frustrated because I did not know why he was here, he never lets me do something by myself, I was angry about him and we had a fight. At lunch time we went to the canteen to have our lunch and my father wanted to sit with the other prisioners and said that we were innocent, and of course no one believed and started to throw us food, and we went back to our cells, we ate and went to bed to wait for the next day.
