Chapter 313 (1/2)

The heavy shackles rattled on the hard ground. Before the musty smell of summer dissipated, the wet aisle became extremely cold. The early north wind blew in from the square hole on the top of the aisle wall and blew on Zhao Pengcheng's thin body. He was shivering with cold.

Although winter clothes have been issued in prison, just the coat, no matter what you wear inside. His clothes and trousers were very thin and could not withstand the cold of winter. Zhao Pengcheng had no family to send him cotton clothes and trousers and had no money to buy them. The discipline reported his situation, and he could get help as usual. After reading Zhao Pengcheng's materials, the prison leader knew that he was a cultural man and once an excellent surgeon, so he asked him to write a rescue application and a repentance material at the same time.

This kind of thing is a great opportunity for a prisoner serving a sentence. Asking him to write repentance materials often means that his sentence can be commuted. If the materials are well written, they will be regarded as a model of the prison and get a lot of preferential treatment.

Zhao Pengcheng is a top student and has worked in a large hospital for so many years. It's easy for him to write a thesis, let alone write a confession material. But he was reluctant to do it. show repentance? What sin do you regret? He doesn't care much about whether the sentence is commuted or not. How many years can it be reduced? From reprieve to indefinite.

After seeing his attitude, the discipline was anxious and angry, and scolded him a little: ”is it so difficult to type a few words on the computer?”

Zhao Pengcheng heard that he could use a computer to write materials. His attitude turned 180 degrees on the spot, and he readily agreed. So he followed the discipline, dragging heavy shackles, through the aisle he had never walked through, and went to the prison room.

The computer room is newly built. Wuzhong prison is undergoing a pilot reform to keep pace with the times, let prisoners receive modern education, and let conditional prisoners use computers to learn. Different from the past audio-visual classrooms, the equipment there generally does not allow prisoners to operate, even if the operation is strictly in accordance with the procedures, and the computer room is a place where prisoners can use computers independently.

According to the prison plan, in the future, the reform through labor can also engage in this work, rather than blindly nailing buttons and sewing clothes. For example, prisoners are allowed to engage in game competition, write novels, be a gunman, top posts and so on. It is said that some places are already doing so.

When the computer room is built, naturally we can't waste it. Rich prisoners can also spend money on computer time, just like Internet cafes. Of course, it is impossible for the prison computer room to access the external network at will, but only the internal network of the prison. The Internet speed of the intranet is very slow. Except that some video and text materials of legal education are public, we can only boast and exchange transformation experience on the internal forum. But that's it, everyone is happy. As for secretly playing Minesweeper and super Mary on the machine in the corner, it is another very profound computer and human knowledge.

Zhao Pengcheng walked into the computer room and saw some people sitting in it. The computer room is guarded by a special prison guard. The correctional officer explained to the prison guard and left. The prison guard took Zhao Pengcheng to a computer, sat him down and asked:

”Can the computer work?”

”Yes.” Zhao Pengcheng nodded.

The prison guard said, ”you write materials. You don't pay for the Internet. You can only write materials. You can't do anything else. Do you hear me?”

”Yes, instructor.” Zhao Pengcheng promised and skillfully turned on the computer. While waiting for the boot, he inadvertently asked, ”can I surf the Internet here?”

He thought that the prison guard would not answer or scold impatiently. Unexpectedly, the prison guard was very patient and said kindly, ”yes, as long as you pay, you can go on, but you can only go on the intranet.”

”How do you charge?”

”Fifty dollars an hour.”

The blue progress bar on the monitor finally finished and entered the familiar Windows desktop. Although the desktop is very clean and has only two icons, it still makes people feel friendly.
