For years now they have worked us like slaves, making us build roads, building and bridges. They make us work long days with no breaks and giving us little food. Many of my fellow convicts have died either of starvation, being over worked or killed for being resistant. The governor has made a deal with us convicts; if we are good and we work for about 6-7 years we can get a ticket of leaving. This ticket allows us to start a new live free from the work, I have been working towards mine for many years now and I think I might be allegeable for it. Many years later I was appointed my ticket able to start a new live. I have taken the job as a teacher Wicklow Hills School teaching children. Two years later I was dismissed for gross misconduct, but years later I was appointed teacher at Dumbarton.
