So I had to go to the police station and sign in, if people don't know what that sign means.

So go to the police station, sign in, say, I'm still here, sort of thing.

This is me and present to a police station.

So I'm in the Gold Coast, I'm in an apartment and I haven't slept for a while and someone who was

had a really serious warrant was also at the Meryton.

And unbeknownst to me, the cops kind of have surveillance in there.

And I come up to the apartment, the lift doors open and there's like six coppers standing at the door.

Yeah.

And like, I don't have anywhere to go.

There's nowhere to go.

It's like, you have to walk out.

So I walked out and they arrested me and I go to the watch house.

And I'm in the watch house and I knew I wasn't going to get out this time, but I was in there for two weeks and a watch house is hell.

I'm going to talk about it in the book about how hellish it is, but there's no natural light.

The lights are on 24 seven.

It's freezing cold and it's the coldest I've ever been in my life.

And you never think you're going to be warm again.

The food comes to you through a hatch in a really dark,

cold box of food with not much food in there or terrible food in there.

You're sleeping on concrete with like an itchy blanket and a shower curtain that gets put between you and the itchy blanket so you're not going to get lice.
