Prison officers were never shy when it came to telling a good story nor would they spoil a good story by not enhancing the truth just a little. It was 1981 when I was sitting in my office dealing with the pile of paper work in front of me when the phone rang. “9 Wing, Egge speaking” I said. “Hey Peter did you hear the shots” one of my close mates in the CIP bellowed very excitedly down the line. I was very much in the dark and so I was keen to know what he was talking about. I was to be informed that, “A crim in 4 Wing walked out of the wing after let go and cut his cock off with a knife, a seagull swooped on his cock and started to fly off with it. The officer in 2 Tower had to shoot the seagull down to get the crim’s cock back so the doctor could sew it back on”.
By now I was laughing so hard that I almost fell off my chair. I had tears of laughter rolling down my face. When I calmed down he told me what really happened.
To find out what really happened in this most tragic event, read my latest book “Australia’s Best Prison Stories”, available from this website or through Amazon.
This I believe.
