Life and writings in a prison in Costa Rica

brad's story
Julio, a feeble, haggard, legally blind old man arrived yesterday, straight from the hospital. No family, no friends, no finances. He's spent the last five years in jil for rape, has 20 more to go, but prison authorities don't want to keep him or his Colostomy bag. Neither does anyone else. He is a recluse, he sits on his bed and either cries, sings evangelical songs or hallucinates a girl is chasing him around a shower curtain, then he gets angry when she catches him. People care for him with a kindness rarely seen or imagined in a prison, how long will this profound tenderness continue? i'll let you know, IF i stay in Adukto Mayor!
