Last Excursion

Today i had cereal again for breakfast and then we were off to the jail. it was really cool and historical at the same time. it was awful some of the conditions people had to live with and the age some people were put in there. the youngest boy was only 5 years old and served a 3 month sentence for steeling part of a wagon. the youngest girl was 8 who stole some bread. these are the youngest there were in there on their own for their own sentence but many others had to go with their parents because there was no one else to care for them outside. one lady had to spend 3 years in solitary confinement in a cell that didn't even allow you enough room to stretch your arms. the only sunlight she seen was once a week or month not sure which for an hour. they even gave you breakfast/dinner meals at random times and mixed up the meals so you couldn't tell what time of day it was. other people got special treatment such as parnell who had a huge room and food delivered to him from restaurants and even got to attend his nephew's funeral in Paris without being accompanied. after that we went to the jameson distillery and that was cool. they don't actually make whiskey there anymore so it was just models of everything but you still got to see all of the steps. at the end we all got a sample of it and you had the option of straight up or mixed with cranberry juice, gingerale or sprite. i tried it with cranberry juice but i don't like it. i got a flask from there and nick got a glass. after that we came back and hung out and worked on our papers for the rest of the night. for dinner we had pizza and fries which was good. tomorrow is our last day of class and we get pizza for lunch :)
