Would you play with me? In high school I was really sporty - I played football, hockey, netball and rugby! I miss it sometimes, there is something unbridled about the joy that we get from playing sport. In prison if enough inmates were interested then we’d play 5- a side football or we’d play basketball, and it was an hour a week where I could forget I was inside. The comradery it instilled into the inmates was awesome. It was a refreshing difference to the fear we were all constantly hiding from each other. We were vulnerable and powerful, maybe even soft and strong.
