Hello Dad, I'm in Jail! Jail! I like it here! 😀steemCreated with Sketch.

I


am not literally in an operating jail, but rather, one which is not in operation. Generally they use disused institutional buildings, such as the former mental institute, "Valeriuskliniek" and I forget exactly where it was last year because I was only there briefly. This year it is the old prison on Havenstraat.

Being run in a prison has some big advantages, such as each room is a cell, and has either 1 or 2 beds, and a toilet and sink and power points to recharge the widgets. My cell has no door though...

Here is the view back towards the standart jail central atrium.

This is my bed, it is very comfy.

On the right at the back is the desk with electric, and you can see the sink on the near right.

And of course, the cell's toilet.

Today now I need to start on applying for an uitkering (welfare payment). I forget exactly what is involved or when it opens and closes. I am just going to sit at the inloophuis in Oud West for the moment and gather my thoughts.

@l0k1 I missed this post and just read it - i was like -what ?
so that's what it looks like inside
it's pretty luxurious compared to Philippine jail ;)
and the streets.
many refugee?

yeah, it is very swish. No intenet but possibly they are getting it at last for some parts possibly. There is ethernet cabling in the walls.

It's not bad at all really. Looks clean. Much better than what some Filipinos live in. But we don't have winters here.

Do the rooms have heaters or some form of ventilation?

yes, both. vents are above (boven, I just realised, is the dutch word) the radiator at the bottom of the window.

Oh, that's what that is at the bottom of the window. Good. :)

looks very interesting , wow

Well at least your out of the cold for now and your bed much better then sleeping on the ground or park bench ! Lol !

At least you have desk and chargeing area now to do all your Steeming from! Steem On ! ♨👍😉♨
