THE HELLENIC POLICE

I was a little astonish, but not that surprise. I have judge at that moment than I could have been more dangerous to did anything else. Such people who have experience dictatorship became quite mad when you done something they are not able to plane. Honestly I was fearing some danger. And I was right!

At that moment she offer me some proposition, but by asking some question like could I go in bus for example it was clear than something was going to happen. But what! What she could done to me.

They put some handcuff, and we run to the police station. Those handcuff was one of I have never seen. No chain was linking the two arm but a rotating join like the one for the door. The guy said that was the rule when you go in the Police Officer Car. And that was needed because no glass was between me and the driver.

I do remember too. The driver was pushing is work college. I was even following the small two car convoy. They bring me to the police station first. And then to the jail.

I just understand what was happening when I was in front of the jail door! I was truly astonish. The jail was in an big inner court.

I did a some drawing of the Rethymnon jail, maybe if you said you are Canadian and you want to visit they will give you a free tour! Anayhow the Rethymnon jail look like that. You know I never went to jail before that date!

The most funny thing for me was the empty one jail of equivalent size on the other size. It was not empty at all. Two women was living in that really clean place. As in Canada I would have been a women at that precise time. Nobody there was speaking English, maybe a little bit Greek, I don’t know.

So hopefully I understood the situation clearly: I forgot some condom. In the Greek jail nobody look on you before you go in. To give you the possibility to bring some condom inside. Like the phone call that was missing.

The other funny thing was the fact than all the other guy around me was really well shaved. So where is the razors! Everybody was wasting their time to take a shower in that dirty place. To shave themselves and to arrange their hair. When you have nothing to done!

Do you realize it. I was in prison. They just ask me to remove my belt. They don’t answer to no question. Everything is power relation there. In the university you are in power. Outside you are not. They propose me a meal when I was chain there. And now till when I was going to stay there for what reason I was there.

Honestly, I was not interested to done something who could have be taken back to me like ever aggressive behaviour you can imagine you have no right to done but they allow themselves to done.

Let’s reconsider what I’ve done, just putting me in the some office, and I even left before the closure time. So what, and I’ve been accuse of nothing, and I did not phone nobody. Till when I was going to stay there? It’s was 1h30 when I left the University. Bof …

Some visitor came in. That was really cool because that was giving me the chance to be seen and to maybe talk to somebody. I should done so discretly. So I feak to speak to the police officer who was watching from really far away if the visitor was not going to give some razors blade. I just remember is funny plastic sunglasses. At the same time I was shouting I was thinking to what the other guy was going to did to me to stop me to done that. It was the first time, so. The first visitor go and the Hellenic Police too.

The second visitor came. The visitor bring some meal sunflower granulate and a sandwich. That visite has been relatively short.

At that hour the TV program was a sort of one X soap with a Greek women wearing clothes appropriate to the Greek weather, transparent one, to get sun.

The third one was for one of the women.

The thing was well working, the police officer was looking the scene from more far away, now. But that was not possible to avoid to be seen by me and at the same time look for some razors blade.

I did not just came to bring some food. At the same time I was shouting in direction of the police officer I was fixing the ass of that women was so huge. I was just hoping than one of them was just able to understand than I was just hopping nothing from that Greek Police Officer. The guy was probably an advocate. “Why I am here?”. “Why I am here?”. “Why I am here?”. “Why I am here?”. “Why I am here?”. “Why I am here?”. And after maybe 5 minutes, I move around itself really fast, and said: “I will ask what is you name and nationality”. He go. He went back relatively faster, and I said “I think you can did him some problem”. Yea of course! Could you tell me how?

The chef came and I ask me some question, the professional man acting as an interpreter. Bla, bla, bla… Ho! Surprise I was knowing than I have been at the University!

My baggage was in the front of the jail. But the most important thing for me was my Canadian Passport! You go but the ID stay there. And the guy bring you back. No money was in my wallet. Hopefully.

Before I left the Fat Greek Police Officer, wearing a green chemise, gave me that bag with all my stuff. But my Canadian Passport was still on is desk near is elbow. Suspense. Let’s sign the sheet of paper, I was not finishing the only one guy who was speaking clearly English begin to push me.

I said how remember you have been there tree hours. Ho! Well I have been there 4 hours. And till when I would have stay there and when should I have gave my phone call. In itself if you did not contact nobody before going in jail, if something bad happen to you it’s more easy for them to pretend you never went there.

I said if you go again in the university you will go to the other prison, cool!

So nobody did me nothing at the University, they just drive me to the cops, the cops just put you in jail and the guy in the jail just… I don’t know what that people have done to be there, and what they are doing during the night, fucking or/and fellatio, probably both.. When I left they was still looking on the one X program TV with the Greek women wearing cloth to get sun.

I left Crete by Rethymno with the Blue Star Ferry the next day.
