Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 3: Division of Power, Five Major Societies (Please collect, recommend, and vote)
Showering is the last step in the "receiving" process in Hong Kong prisons.
After everyone has showered, they must change into the newly received prison uniforms and wait to meet the warden.

Most of Stanley's senior prison wardens are from the UK.
Generally, they do not participate in specific affairs, and daily chores are arranged by lower-level prison wardens.

After waiting for half an hour, the warden finally arrived. Surprisingly, he was also a foreigner.
Fang Hexuan originally thought that he was a Chinese. It seems that Stanley is indeed special in the eyes of the British.

Nothing unexpected happened during the meeting. It was nothing more than the usual carrot and stick game, except that the foreigners were more involved.

In addition to promoting the rules and policies of Stanley Prison, each newly admitted prisoner must be assigned a job and a workplace.

Fang Hexuan is a young prisoner. He has two hours of reading in the morning, and the teacher arranged by the prison department teaches him.
I have to work at the laundry in the afternoon. It’s not too tiring and relatively decent.

As for easy jobs like hospitals, kitchens, canteens, fingerprint rooms, etc., don't even think about it.

These workstations are resources allocated by the prison management and the old prisoners through negotiation.
Newcomers are not eligible to enjoy it, even if you are under 18 years old.

After coming out of the prison warden's office, Fang Hexuan and his companions were taken to a patio with ventilation on all sides.

A senior Chinese supervisor arranged cells and room numbers for everyone here.

Stanley Prison has six rectangular cells.

Each building has three floors, with 60 to 70 cells on each floor.

Each cell covers an area of ​​seven by eight feet (2.33m×2.67m), which is about 6.2 square meters.
Originally designed to hold 1500 prisoners, it now actually holds about 2500.
At its peak, the number was said to have exceeded 2700.

Seriously sentenced and death row prisoners are in separate cells.
Nor are they being held in isolation in these prison cells, where they enjoy the treatment of living in seclusion.

Stanley Prison in 1978 was not like the movie "Prison on Fire".
Many people live in a large room, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, chatting and having fun together.

"952678, I checked the file. You are a white-handed person and a YP boy."

"According to regulations, young prisoners must be kept in isolation. You are assigned to the upper bunk in Room 18 on the second floor of Warehouse ."

"Thank you, sir!"

Fang Hexuan didn't understand the rules of the prison and could only learn the lines from Hong Kong movies.

The Chinese senior supervisor had a blank expression on his face, probably because he was used to it.

952678, this is Fang Hexuan's prison number, also known as "lifelong prison sentence".
Each prisoner has a unique number, and even if he is imprisoned again, he will still have this number.
Just like a personal file, it stays with you for a lifetime.

Baishou and YPzai are both jargons used in Hong Kong prisons.

The former refers to prisoners who have never had a criminal record before imprisonment, and the latter refers to prisoners under the age of twenty-one.

Stanley has provided some care to young prisoners.
After all, as a high-security prison that holds a large number of serious criminals and death row prisoners (the death penalty was not formally abolished until 1993),
For many young people who are inexperienced in the world, this place is no less than a den of dragons and tigers.

Stanley's first and second warehouses house young prisoners or criminals with sentences of less than two years (those with one to three criminal records).

He did not live with the old prisoners.

Even so, young prisoners account for 25% of the population in Stanley.

After arranging the cells, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
It was dinner time in the prison, which was also the first royal meal for the newbies.

However, from Da Yanming's disdainful expression, Fang Hexuan could probably guess that the royal meal was by no means the "delicious" taste that the "law of true fragrance" indicated.

The patio was not far from the canteen, and when they were brought in by the supervisor on duty, there were not many people inside.

According to the rules, we lined up to get the white plates, and then received one and a half bowls of white rice, a piece of hairtail fish, a yellow orange, and half a cup of tea.
This was the quality of the dinner, which Fang Hexuan couldn’t believe.

"How about it, disappointed?"

The man with big eyes sitting opposite him asked with a smile.

Fang Hexuan shook his head and sighed softly with helplessness.

"I just don't understand, no one has complained? Doesn't the Hong Kong government care?"

Big Eyes Bright laughed.

"Pick! Do you think the Hong Kong government is Guanyin, saving people from suffering?"

"I tell you, many years ago, the food in prison was much worse than it is now."

"It was not until 67, when the leftist political prisoners in prison started causing trouble again and again, that the prison department improved the prisoners' food allowances."

Fang Hexuan was stunned, his face full of surprise:
"It's rotten now. Wasn't it pig food that we ate before?"

"Do you think the foreigners came to Hong Kong to save the Chinese?"

"Do you know that among all the prisons in Hong Kong, the Chinese have the worst food,"

"Even the Acha and Bin Lao are better than us, not to mention the white people in Britain, America and Australia."

Da Yanming was too lazy to continue talking, and simply buried his head in his food. Seeing that Fang Hexuan didn't touch the white hairtail fish, he didn't say anything politely:

"Suckling, fish smells bad but it fills the stomach. If you don't eat it, I will."

Fang Hexuan only ate a small portion of rice with some tea and then he had no appetite anymore. The orange was a bit sour, but at least he finished it.

"After dinner, we will go our separate ways. How can I contact you in the future?"

Fang Hexuan looked at the man with big eyes who was eating and asked calmly.

Da Yanming looked up at Fang Hexuan, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and said with a smile:
"Stanley's exercise time is from 6:30 to 7:30 every evening. If I have nothing to do, I will definitely be at the square."

Fang Hexuan nodded to show that he understood.

"Don't accuse me of being disloyal. I charge for my help. Everyone in Stanley knows this, and you are no exception."

Big Eyes Ming spoke again in a rare serious tone.

"I understand. I'm Stanley Know-it-all. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."

"Thank you for your support!"

Fang Hexuan was not surprised. He had guessed Da Yanming's identity from the beginning.
······
The newcomers and the old prisoners finished their meals at about the same time. The old prisoners followed the rules and went to the square to gather.

The newcomer returned to the fingerprint room to collect the bedding under the order of the supervisor.

Afterwards, they were also taken to the square to join the old prisoners and be inspected by the senior supervisor.

It is called a square, but it is actually a combination of a basketball court and a volleyball court.
Located in the southwest corner of Stanley Prison, it is the largest open space in Stanley, covering an area of ​​more than 3600 square meters.

At this time, 2500 people densely filled the basketball court on the right side of the square, and a large number of prison guards stood around on high alert.

The headcount was checked by warehouse, and Fang Hexuan was asked to stand in the team of warehouse 2.

Perhaps it was too conspicuous, and a buzz suddenly sounded among the crowd in Warehouse 2. The on-duty supervisor of the warehouse had to scold and shout to calm the noise down.

Even so, Fang Hexuan could still feel someone casting meaningful glances at him.

The check took about 30 minutes. After the number of people was confirmed, the prisoners in each cell returned to their cells under the guidance of supervisors and low-level prison guards.

The six prison cells were not connected together. There were kitchens and dining halls between cells one, two, three and cells four, five, and six.
The first three prison cells are located to the north of the canteen, and the last three cells are located to the south of the canteen.

Therefore, Fang Hexuan and his companions needed to return to the prison cell along the artificial corridor running from north to south.
The distance was not far. After walking more than a hundred meters, we entered the gate of the second warehouse.

After Fang Hexuan entered Room 18 on the second floor, he found that there was only a bunk bed inside.

The end of the lower bunk was blocked by a half-height white wall. Behind the white wall was a stainless steel toilet with a steel washbasin above it.

The upper bunk is already occupied.
It is obvious that in Stanley, some regulations are just superficial, and whether they are followed or not depends on one's "flexibility".

He put down his toiletries and bedding and began to make the bed.

Judging from the size of the bed frame, it's only about 1.8 meters. Given his height, he'll have to be very careful when sleeping in the future.

The iron door of the cell was opened again, and a man who was estimated to be in his 20s walked in.
He is also quite tall, at least over 175cm tall.

Medium-length hair, hard features, high cheekbones,
There was no expression on his face, and he didn't say hello.

She just glanced at Fang Hexuan coldly, then climbed onto the upper bunk on the bed sheet he had just laid out.

Fang Hexuan looked a little worried, but he didn't say anything.
It's no use trying to please a cold butt in a prison where strength is respected.

After an entire afternoon of hard work, he was already a little tired physically and mentally.

I took off my shoes and got on the bed. In less than a minute, I fell into a deep sleep.

From 7pm to 7:30pm, the prisoners in Warehouses 4, 5, 6 and 3 of Stanley Prison are allowed to walk, eat and have some fresh air.

You can go to the cafeteria to watch TV, or go to the square to play basketball.

Generally speaking, most people would choose to walk around the square.
Of course, these people are not scattered randomly.

Instead, prisoners from the same community are gathered together, with a distance of several meters between different communities.

In Stanley, the first thing a newcomer to prison without any gang background has to face is choosing which gang to join.

If you don't join a society, you will be called a sheep by everyone.
They will be often bullied and harassed.
Even the prison guards would look down on him.

You know, the real Stanley Prison,

It is absolutely not like in "Prison on Fire" where prison guards act violently at will and humiliate and beat prisoners for no reason.

Prison guards in other prisons might behave this way, but the prison guards in Stanley are very aware of the current situation.

The reason is simple. Most of the prisoners in Stanley have long sentences.
Even if they beat up a prison guard, the prisoners don't mind adding a few more years to their sentences.
What's more, there are many brutal murderers here.

Unless there are special circumstances, they will basically be imprisoned in Stanley until death.
Prison guards are also a vulnerable group when they mess with such a ruthless character.

Therefore, in the eyes of Stanley Prison guards, it is impossible to let them risk their lives just to earn a living.

There was a prison guard who refused his superior's order to disperse the prisoners who were sitting in the square and protesting against hunger strike.

This is because compared to being punished by their superiors, prison guards are more afraid of being retaliated against by prisoners in the future.

As a result, the prison guards in Stanley, especially Lao Chai, basically took the mentality of less trouble is worse than more.
When facing prisoners, you cannot pretend to be a grandson, but generally you can just say "I didn't see it".

If a prisoner in Stanley doesn't even treat the prison guards well, basically anyone can step on him.

Therefore, in order to suffer less, most people will choose to join the association.

He reluctantly served as a "temporary member" for a few years, even though he would never associate with the society again after he was released from prison.

Among the prisoners in Stanley, 14K has the largest number, followed by Hutchison Whampoa and Lao Chiu, and the least is Shuangying.

Therefore, according to the agreement reached by the five parties,

Yicang belongs to Shuangying's territory.

The two warehouses belong to the four major ones,
Three warehouses return to the old tide,

Four warehouses returned to Hutchison,
Warehouses five and six are completely controlled by 14K.

Each of the five companies has an agent in each warehouse, who is the warehouse manager.

There is a warehouse manager above the five warehouse managers.
The rule is that whichever company controls a warehouse will have the position of warehouse manager be a "highly respected" person from that society working in that warehouse.

Five warehouse managers assist the warehouse manager.

Formulate warehouse rules, distribute supplies, convey orders from prison guards at all levels, arrange sanitation and cleaning in the warehouse, and maintain order among prisoners when opening and closing the warehouse.

Each society will also elect a president and several deacons.
Jointly responsible for the society's affairs in Stanley.

The warehouse manager, warehouse manager, steward, and general manager are all replaced every three months.
They are elected by secret ballot by the prisoner members of their respective societies.

Basically, the boss can be understood as the prison's chief, and the deacon as the second marshal.
The warehouse head is the boss of each warehouse or has a red stick, and the warehouse clerk has a white paper fan or straw sandals.

The chief and the deacon are usually old prisoners.

They usually live in four, five or six warehouses and are familiar with each other, but frictions and conflicts may also occur.

Whenever a new prisoner is admitted, the boss of each society will call a meeting of the leaders to discuss the matter.
The society does not accept everyone, but will be selective and choose the ones that best suit their needs to be recruited.

Generally speaking, societies like to recruit three types of people: rich guys, all-rounders, and honest fools.

The ultimate goal of most people joining a society is to make money.
By recruiting a big shot, the society will have a financial backer and will have the confidence to go out and fight.

A capable and martial brother can help the boss to kill the bad guys, grab the territory, and make money.

A must-have for home and travel, saving worry and effort.

Tiehanhan, if the boss tells him to go east, he will never go west.
It's easy to use and there's almost no worry about betrayal.

On the other hand, the newbies also have the freedom to choose.
Once you join a certain society, other societies can no longer harass you for revenge.
