1980’S continued

As quickly as they arrive, they leave. The two drive rather hurriedly to Madam Layla, who is a practicing clairvoyant. Wayne dismisses all that she tells him. He knows that the Bible does mention mediums and soothsayers, but it does also go on to say that one should not put their trust in them. Life continues as normal until seven years misfortune is evidently manifested in his life.

The protection racket, which his gang runs in Acre Lane, Brixton,in the early1980s  proves to be the undoing of Wayne. After touting for new business, he approaches Gilbert the dry cleaners. An accomplice burst into the shop waving a knife. Gilbert dismisses this as a joke giving that he knows them both, since they were mere boys. The ensuing commotion alerts the shop next door, and they then call the police.

All at once the scene outside resembles the West End on a busy day. The spectators jostle each other for a better view. The two men attempt to make

a break for it through the back door, only to find it locked. All the time several more units are being deployed outside of the premises. It suddenly dawns on  Wayne that they are trapped and like flies waiting to be swatted; they scramble from room  to room finding no escape.

Tego, Waynes accomplice makes a break for it. He reaches half a mile down the road through a posse of Police officers. He is later discovered in somebodys front garden and is promptly arrested. Wayne is caught almost instantly, he is cuffed down and thrown inside a police van.

Now if ever a person reaches a turning  point in his life then this is it for Wayne Brown. He lies on his bed one night, reflecting upon his life up to this point. He remembers some off the things his father Dennis used to say to him. “Y’u don,t wan’ end up like Basil”. May be this is what he meant, Him being on the same Island where Basil Brown died.

Wayne was the youngest prisoner in Camp Hill Prison, a mere boy thrown into the deep end. He is soon introduced to the old lags, who told him stories to make his jaw drop. After a few weeks he is given the three best jobs in the prison; a gymnasium orderly, hotplate orderly and a prestigious red band. these are considered as status symbols in penal institutes. Wayne often wondered why he was singled out for these prestigious positions, until a member of staff reveals a dark secret to him, about his brother Basils death in 1977. These prestigious positions were a means to stop him asking to many questions. Armed with this knowledge , he decides to take his investigation to a governmental level. What Wayne does not bargain for is the atrocities he will endure in the name of justice.
