In 1998, the centenarian Goligoli walked out of his prison in Siberia, and before leaving, the prison guards gave him a new dress and fifty rubles, and the two hugged him goodbye. When Goligori was imprisoned, Russia was still in the tsarist era, and after his release, the Soviet Union had collapsed, so let's take a look at the century-old prison life of a 120-year-old prisoner.
In 1895, when Goligori was only 17 years old, Gorigori got into an argument with his neighbor because a cow trampled on his meadow, and impulsively cut off his neighbor's neck with a firewood knife. Regardless of the dynasty or generation, murder is a vicious crime, and in Russia under the Tsar, although this kind of passion killing does not need to be guillotined, Goligoli was also sentenced by the judge as a thorn to 100 years in prison.
In Russia at that time, the average life expectancy of people could not even reach fifty years, and a hundred years in prison was equivalent to ending him in prison.
On the first day in prison, the dark cold of the prison made Goligoli completely desperate. The humble cell contained only a hard bed, a wooden table, a chair and a bucket of dirt. The thought that he would spend the rest of his life here made Gorigori shudder.
Two years after his imprisonment, Goligoli planned an escape, and late one night, Goligoli quietly pulled out a handful of wire from the stolen bucket and began to pry the iron door lock of the cell. After a long time, he finally heard a "click" and the iron door was locked. Gorigori pushed open the iron door and tiptoed out of the cell. The corridor was pitch black, and he touched the wall with his palm, moving step by step.
As if the heavens wanted to help the young man escape, there were no guards in the corridor, and there was an iron gate at the end of the corridor leading to the open space behind the prison. Goligori pried open the door with a wire again, and looked at the vast night sky outside, his heart surging. He took a deep breath and ran towards the barbed wire fence outside the prison.
Gorigori used all his strength to climb the barbed wire fence and tried to climb over. But there were many sharp thorns in the barbed wire, piercing his palms and knees. The pain was unbearable and the blood flowed, but Goligoli gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.
Suddenly, a bright light hit Goligoli, but the prison guards still noticed his movement and shook the searchlight against the barbed wire. With the shouts of the prison guards, the alarm bells in the prison were loud, and it didn't take long for Goligory, who was hanging on the barbed wire, to be surrounded by prison guards. Gorigori stopped in disappointment and allowed himself to slide off the barbed wire and fall to the ground.
The next day, the prison announced that it had imposed an additional three years on Gorigori's escape as an example. The original 100-year sentence became 103 years, of course, this is no change for Gorigori, 100 years can not survive, and three more years is not a problem.
After the escape, the prison strengthened the supervision of Goligoli, and added a few cellmates to Goligori's cell, so that Goligori could chat with his cellmates to pass the time, and the past few years have been quite happy, but after a long time, watching the inmates with short sentences get out of prison, and their sentences are still far away, Goligoli also lost the nature of chatting, shrinking in the corner of the bed all day, numb like a stake.
Seeing that Goligoli had lost the spirit to escape from prison, the prison guards locked Goligoli again in solitary custody to prevent him from influencing others.
Life in prison is very harsh, with cold showers only once a week, and soap is rare.
Once, Goligoli asked the prison guards for soap, but was reprimanded by the prison guards: "You are a person who is destined to die here, this place is full of prisoners, no one cares about you, no one wants to see you, what are you wasting soap for?"
This sentence aroused Goligoli's determination to resist. He vowed to live longer than the trial judge, the prison sheriff and everyone who had insulted him.
At the age of 120, Goligori's long sentence finally ended, and he became the longest-lived prisoner in history, successfully breaking the precedent of more than a hundred years in prison without completing his release, and even the entire Siberian prison cheered the old prisoner's freedom.
No one would have expected that Goligoli would actually get out of prison alive. In front of the prison gate, the centenarian Goligoli was instantly surrounded by reporters, facing the flash, Goligoli's face was full of red light, and he could not see that he was 120 years old, he said to reporters: "I want to take a hot bath first, for so many years, I have forgotten the taste of hot bath, and then find a place to drink a cup of vodka, and then find a wife." ”
The prison guard teased him: "You are so old, you still want women?"
Gorigori said: "I haven't seen a woman since I went to prison at the age of 17. Now I'm old, but I'm not wasted! ”
Gorigori lived 120 years and squatted for 103 years. He fulfilled his oath and successfully survived the judge who tried him and the prison guard who insulted him, breaking the record for the longest prison sentence in prison. Normal people don't live to be 100 years old, let alone in prison. But Goligoli not only survived, but also retained the vitality and hope of life.
103 years in prison deprived Gorigori of the best of his life, but did not break his will. The sins of murder a hundred years ago have long been paid off by a long sentence, and now he can finally start his life again, although there are few years left, but finally give him the opportunity to be reborn!
