MY BEDROOM WALL
Interior Decorating in Prison
My name is Corey Johnson and a few years ago I was sentenced to three years inside for robbing a bank. I ended up serving only 18 months in Her Majesty’s Prison Feltham and then in HMP Portland—the closest thing in England to Riker’s Island. (In Portland you don’t even get a toilet, just a bucket to shit and piss in).
These are some of the photos I had on the wall of my cell. They’d remind me of some of the good times I did or didn’t get to share. To tell you the truth, when you think about the good times in jail you just get angry. But life outside keeps on going when you’re locked up, and these photos show that.
