Joe's Story


Joe’s Story

Joe is a 30 year old man in prison for the shooting of a man in Reno. He is serving a life sentence but he has only served 10 years so far and he is finding it difficult in prison waking up every morning to four walls, and when he hears the whistle of the train, he longs for freedom. He is very lonely and sad and jealous of people on the outside. He thinks of the freedom that the train would give him if he was able to get on it and travel far away, see different places and do things he dreamt of doing. He also thinks of how life would have been if he was a free man, like meeting a gorgeous young lady and getting married and rearing a family. Joe also thinks about his parents and brothers and sisters and what he missed out on, he misses his mother’s love as they were very close to each other.

Joe also recalls the day he shot that poor man in Reno for no reason and he regrets it very much and will for the rest of his life as it has ruined his life and those that were close to him.

Joe dreams of freedom and a different way of life but the click of the key on the cell door reminds him of reality and a sad and lonely life.
