Edward Coke used to be an army officer, but he is in prison now. Every day is exactly the
same for him.
It is winter now and Coke and all the other men get up at six, when it is still cold and dark.
They have breakfast at six thirty. Work begins at seven thirty. Some of the men work in the
prison factory, where they make mail-bags, but Coke often works in the fields outside.
The men have lunch at twelve. Lunch lasts an hour and then the men go back to work again.
Coke usually goes to the prison library after dinner and reads until 9.30. The lights go out at
ten.
