After we receive our rations we
are forced to wait out in the cold
wet patio for no apparent reason
other than to further satiate the
sadistic cruelty mirrored in the faces
of fascist N.C.Os and officers whom
are watching us from the office
windows. Eventually we are allowed 
into our quarters, to huddle together
in a long dormitory to shiver and
shake until our clothes dry out.
350 men crammed into a space
barely sufficient for 100. Swarming
with vermin and unable to wash
either our bodies or clothes except at
rare intervals when they took us to the river
6 times in ten months
Toilet conditions were unspeakable
5 toilets for 700 men. The odor from
the latrines permeated the entire
atmosphere of the barracks penetrating 
even into the infirmary
Every day a queue of 100 to 150
were treated for running sores
sores that were impossible to heal
