on thursday i had my left hand incarcerated. the initial serving period was four weeks, with a potential good behaviour reassessment toward the end of this month. that's not to say the hand would be freed at that point, it just might be downgraded from maximum security for the remainder of the sentence. this is what we're hoping for; this will be the preferred verdict. why? because not only is it beyond ridiculous to have a cast up to your elbow for a broken pinkie finger, but because life is more difficult with one hand.

carry very many things
