Dear Mum,
Today is Winston's birthday and he wants to have 'a party nobody will forget'.Trouble is , there is little room, since the wardens moved two special visitors into our cell first thing this morning.Bubba and Reamer are VIP's, the wardens give them the nod whenever they are on the stairs and from what I saw at breakfast, many others from our block kept a polite distance from them, moving straight to another table.The governor did post something last week about a couple of category 'A's' moving in which must be the next best thing to mixing with royalty. Winston says that the evening will be 'sweet', and to ensure festivities go with a bang, he has got a delivery coming in, with 'party hats, lard'n'coke !' (I think he means lardy cake, his Jamaican accent does make things difficult sometimes).Reamer had a package delivered this lunchtime which is now in the corner, under the basin, I have had a peek, and it's a game of Twister.Bubba hasn't got anything special in, Winston says not to worry as he will be putting on an unforgettable show, To be honest his tattoos are really something to behold already . He also has a number of metal parts on his body, he set off the detector during a snap search mid-morning. His most treasured piercing apparently is in memory of Queen Victoria's lover of some fifty years, which makes me think about my dearly departed. I have been assured more than a glimpse of 'Prince Albert' tomorrow before lights out if I play my cards right. One problem is going to be the extra two beds, which limit the floor space somewhat, and could spoil the game, but the warden on our block tells me that 'Reamer and Bubba are the type that rarely sleep when others are sparko on their bunks'.I am sure this is going to work out well. Since there is little point in having extra beds when nocturnal inmates can easily use them in the time when others are in the yard, eating or in the showers, I have already dismantled them and will put my findings to the governor if tonight works out

Your optimistic son, Jack
