My Hell Years: A memory of Stanhope

My Hell Years

A Memory of Stanhope.

Hi, my name Jacko, I left the castle in 1972, never been the same since. All bad memories. Hi Jaff, how's life? I was only a kid and no kid should go through what we went through. I spent all my time running away. I remember little red shorts and tops we had to wear, we must have looked a sight going for walks in all red or green blue or yellow. Remember. Get in twos. If you could not count, hold hands. I went on to 13 years in nick after Stanhope but no one hit me again. Mr Melody was head, an evil man.
The kickings - I lost count.
