Personally, in prison, every prisoner really loves and hates the festival, because at this time, I can rest and relax without labor, and I can improve my food, and I can finally eat meat.
Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of New Year's Day, not for the day of rest, but for the arrival of the new year, the old year has finally passed, and they are a little closer to going home.
1. New Year's Day. On New Year's Day, you don't have to go to the production workshop to work, you can sleep more, this is just relative, usually get up on time at six o'clock, and you can sleep until half past seven on New Year's Day. Depending on the captain's mood, he may be able to sleep until ** o'clock. At least that's what I experienced.
Usually you don't have to work on Monday and have to study all day, but on New Year's Day, you don't have to, only a summary meeting will be held in the morning, and after the end, everyone will watch movies and television, and you can play chess and other free activities on the side.
This day can also play family affection**, although it is not everyone's turn, but it is much more relaxed than usual, and the captain also tries to make more people can give the family a **, which is more exciting than eating meat. After all, this is a holiday greeting.
Inside, the most feared thing is the abandonment and ignorance of the family, and it is really exciting to hear their voices, which is really exciting for us who are isolated from the world.
On that day, I gave my parents and wife a beating, and the prison where I was in was allowed to be beaten once a month, as long as I didn't die, I could be beaten, and I wouldn't be banned. My family was fine, they just told me to take care of my body and try to go home sooner.
It's just that those who don't care about their families are very lost, they try to pretend to be calm, but they can't hide the envy, loneliness or jealousy in their eyes.
For some reason, the prison will give some daily necessities to these people who have no money during the holidays and New Year, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort to them and make them not give up on themselves.
The three meals for the New Year are more hearty than usual, and there are generally 2 meat dishes for lunch and dinner. This one is really hard to eat.
Eat well during the holidays, but only eat well during the holidays, even if it is a day of food on New Year's Day, the other 2 days are normal. Everyone will take out their own snacks to replenish them, and they will share them if they are doing well.
New Year's Day passed quickly, and the workshop work began immediately, and the new year began.
2. Spring Festival. Compared with New Year's Day, the Spring Festival is more enjoyable. Because of the long holiday, the national statutory holiday is seven days off, depending on which one in prison, the prison I was in at the time was five and a half days off (Chinese New Year's Eve half day + the first to fifth day of the new year). Everyone can enjoy a rare leisure time of the year. But time has passed quickly, these 5 and a half days, every day is a hard dish!All of a sudden, I got fat.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, even the captains who usually have a straight face will rarely relax, and they will celebrate the New Year happily with the prisoners.
The prison will be decorated a few days in advance, and it is also decorated with couplets and window grilles to make everyone feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
Starting from Chinese New Year's Eve, the prison will arrange a variety of entertainment activities, such as New Year's Eve party, sketch competition, chess competition, etc., there are many activities, there is always one suitable for you, you can also add points for good results, and material rewards, everyone will actively participate.
In addition to resting, eating will also be greatly improved, there are hard dishes every day, the first 3 days are 2 hard dishes, are meat and meat, Chinese New Year's Eve is 18 dishes, eat happy and tears, people with feelings are very sad and uncomfortable in this night, these things that can rarely be eaten, can be relieved during the New Year.
It is also arranged for all inmates to have a family relationship**, or to have a family meeting before or after the year.
But the management during the Chinese New Year will also be very strict, because the safety leaders of the holidays pay more attention, absolutely prohibit the phenomenon of fighting, who can't help fighting, usually is to criticize education or deduct points and other punishments, during the New Year, even if the fight is against the wind, then it will be a big deal, directly let you go to confinement, which can be quickly **, but also refreshing.
During the Spring Festival holiday in 2020, there were two people in our prison area, because they had a dispute because they didn't agree with each other, the two people developed from quarreling to fighting, throwing chairs, and finally both of them were locked up for seven days, and 20 points were deducted.
No matter how lively and relaxed the festival is, as a prisoner, it is not really happy, whenever I see the picture of the reunion of thousands of families on TV, I can't help but want to cry, we also long for family affection Longing for family reunion, but because of their own fault, they committed a crime.
A wall separates us from another world, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are subject to human control.
Only after experiencing it did I understand that ordinary is true, and family reunion is true happiness.
