With Prisoners Page #5

Synopsis: After a bar brawl with an off-duty cop, aspiring thug Fan (Neo Yau, Fire Lee's gonzo Robbery) is sentenced to three months in juvenile detention like Hong Kong's Sha Tsui Detention Center, which practices military-style rehabilitation. Insults and abuse are core tenets of the treatment, carried out by the bored, jaded staff, where an occasional true believer lingers among the guards.

Whatever you want, just take it out on me

Take what?

That is not going to cover it...

What do you want?

I want to come visit you

every single day from now on...

Do what you like

- You alright?

- Doesn't matter

Have a seat

Sorry boss

No worries, I will clean up

Staff members physically and

mentally abuse the young men

Stripping off their dignity

This is not an official recount of the events

Telling the truth has

become my responsibility to bear

Staff abuse the system, the kids have to suffer

No one would dare tell the truth because of fear

The 3S's are the most important things

in the system today

S for short term

Short and intensive rehabilitation

S for Sharp

They must follow strict rules and regulations

S for shock

Teaching them the consequences of their actions

What?

Pitbull got stabbed, who did it?

Sir, I don't know

I heard someone from you crew did it

I don't have a crew anymore sir

Don't play me

I've been here everyday working, ask anyone

If you don't believe it,

you can just call my rehabilitation officer

Did your crew throw you a party?

I haven't seen them since I got out

You got something else going huh? Another scam?

I am straight sir,

believe it or not, I am straight

The hell you are

If you go straight, then why am I here?

- What do you want?

- I want names!

I am sorry sir

Don't let me get you again

Honey, I am having drinks with the guys tonight

I will be back later tonight

Brother!

Welcome back Brother Fan,

we are gonna turn this town upside down

Let's roll

Oh crap, look out

It is you, Piglet right? I remember you

- Sister, how are you?

- Where are you going?

We just want to celebrate Fan's return

Just going out for drinks, New Year's Eve and all

Gonna go pick up some chicks?

I wouldn't allow it...

Fan only has you on his mind

You promised me we would have

New Year's Eve dinner at home

I will, we will

Don't lie to me

I caught you red-handed

Just a couple of drinks, I will be back

You are not going...

Better yet, I am going with you, start the car

Piglet, you guys go have fun,

I need to be with my girl tonight

You guys have 2 rounds on me

Do you need help?

Don't rush me, this is art

It's almost midnight

So what? Do you want me to stop cooking?

Here you go, countdown begins

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Happy New Year

I just want to help, however I can

- You serious?

- I have more than just this video

Ho, have you thought about the consequences?

There is no turning back for me

This is just the beginning

You filmed this?

They let you use your phone inside?

It wasn't easy,

but I need your help to get this out

Alright, let me talk to the chief editor

See if we can make tonight's deadline

We all knew the moment we got there

In their eyes, we are rubbish, we are dirt

We are useless to them

If you don't have a job,

you are useless in society

If you die in there

No one will care or even sympathize

Your parents can't help

They can't find out what happened in there

It wouldn't help if they did

Even if you tell, they won't believe you

We have been labelled as liars

My experience may sound simple to you

But staying in there for 3 months

ls no walk in the park

If you can't tough it out in there,

you will be hopeless out here

Let me tell you, don't f*** up your life

If you even take one missed step

If you must, please wait until you are over 25

Why? Because compared to juvie

Big-boy prison is like heaven.

In juvie, you need to ask for permission

for everything except breathing

Now, juvie in Hong Kong

Only takes in 14 to 25 year - olds

This is my story,

just in case you find yourself in there one day

At least you know the rules

if you do end up in there

I don't wish this on my worst enemy

I certainly do not wish this upon you

If you f*** up, you gotta pay it back

You need to be tough

Tough not just in your body

Be tough in your mind

You will have a really hard time in there

What they are doing is to strip off your dignity

Whatever you have to endure,

being beaten, yelled at, treated as dirt

To me, that does way more damage

on our minds than our bodies

If we don't even have our dignity,

what else do we have left

Bruises will fade, wounds will heal

The pain shall pass one day

Because the damage is only skin deep

The way they treated me in there

The things I have seen done to others like me...

Sh*t like that stays with you for life,

trust me...
