The Angel of Bang Kwang Prison
“I also, with help from sponsors, provided them with small luxuries like radios and fans in their offices, and even a new TV in the waiting room. I wanted them to know that I appreciated the job they were doing and any co-operation they could offer me. Some of them shyly asked me to teach English to their kids or translate documents concerning western inmates. I also translated speeches and met with embassy officials, mediating between them and the prison.
