After thirty years in prison for murder

[topum]

I need work Mr Cameron, not homelessness.



My name is Kevin, I am from Scotland. I live in a hostel and have 20 days until I am homeless. I need a job. My art is all I have to give.



This guy served 30 years in prison for murder. He says he was innocent.

Trafalgar Square, London

Must be a tough experience - to see how the world changed from 1996. He had TV, of course, but still...

And the hardest thing would be to take your life under control and show initiative - after these years spent under total control of others and with initiative punishable.

Many people in his situation chose Chaplin´s solution from "Modern times" - to commit some crime and "come back home" - to prison again.

Thirty years is a bloody long time. I wasn't born yet when he got jailed.

Well, yes, I wrote 1996, but it´s bloody 1986. And I was already born by that time, and the human species was already enjoying my company for some time...
