Being a Prisoner in the 90s

Nagging, tired, imprisoned and not being able to fit into a container... That's why it's at night that a person's heart cries, the pain of living in all its reality and most intensely... (…) Nights are times of life that are so concrete and intense that they can be held in hand, when you are in captivity and you can read your poetry and songs. While he was searching for his lost feelings in the deep voids of his heart with a futile effort. (…) It is a lifetime that flows along with the nights, lifetimes lived for the sake of sunny blue futures…”
After his long imprisonment during the September 12 period, Cafer Solgun faced this "test" once again in the 1990s, which was dominated by the "Kurdish problem" agenda. In this book, Solgun tells the story of what he experienced, observed, thought and felt in Van, Muş, Diyarbakır, Adıyaman, Antep, Bursa and Kaman prisons for nearly ten years. In the background, the loaded agenda of the period…
Sometimes it is the kind of trouble that is called "Imprisonment, sometimes it happens"... Sometimes humor... Sometimes the grind of daily life... Sometimes fierce struggle... Politicians and judiciaries...
Solgun also conveys his observations and thoughts on general issues from his prison life. For example, he discusses the tragicomic consequences of "the 'organization' acting with an understanding that puts itself in the place of the 'state'", the meaning of freedom in daily practice, and many other things.
When considered together with Solgun's book, Don't Tell Me I'm Inside, in which he describes his imprisonment experience in the 80s, it is an impressive comparison of the September 12 period and the conditions of the 90s in terms of prison life and the penal execution regime.
