Uncle, change was on the way
Just a few years after your release
The deprivation of sufficient light
Food or exercise                
    Was ruled inhumane   
There would be no more bread-and-water diet
No more stripping inmates of their clothes
No more unheated cells
No more shackling
No more placing an inmate in handcuffs or chains
    While inside his cell
No more using tear gas to disable a convict
Surely these changes would have tamped down
Your desire to escape.
