"In studying the items brought to him in prison, it can be estimated what
luxury he enjoyed there.
1) bread - three packets
2) bread (pudding) - one packet
3) fried chicken (whole)
4) fried bacon - two packets
5) fried onions - two packets
6) cooked fish sauce - two packets
7) dried pork - five packets
8) milk powder - two packets
9) pork - one tin
10) instant noodles - 20 packets
11) instant nutrition - two packets (40 nos in each)
12) instant coffee mix - three packets (60 nos in each)
13) biscuits - two packets
14) strawberry jam - six packets
15) underwear - three nos
16) orange juice - two bottles
17) instant noodles - five packets
18) sausage - one packet
19) preserved durian - one bottle
20) cheese - three tins
21) towel - three nos
22) fried bacon - one bottle
23) cooked lobsters - one bottle

In reality, according to prison rules such a big number of foodstuff cannot be
taken inside.  There is no other reason to ponder over this than to presume
that the authorities at different levels had been considerate and kind toward
the bad-hat and regarded him as another human being and had made this
arrangement.  There can be another reason.  The bad-hat is not a foolish person
and his work was so good that he could even have a citizenship scrutiny card,
isn't it so?  As a person who is business-minded he might have opened a store
in prison.

It is learnt that the bad-hat drinks coffee in the prison three times a day.
It is not easy even for the officers on duty at the prison to drink coffee
regularly.  Even if they have coffee, milk powder and sugar, it is not easy to
get boiled water in the prison.  However, according to words uttered by the
bad-hat, "everything is fine," he must have been OK in the prison.

We should also study the activities on the day of his derath.  On that day
(22-6-96), when the cells were opened, he did the usual squatting and then he
returned to his cell and laid down.  At 7 am he drank coffee mix and slept
again.  He went to the latrine at 8:45 am.  After that he himself went to get
his meal and ate it with dried pork and fried fish paste.  After his meal he
took the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

After taking his medicine, he joked with an inmate Bo Thein who returned after
meeting his visitor.  He then laid down in his bed again.  After 10 minutes in
bed he got up and took a walk and on returning to his bed his knees buckled
and he fell and warden on duty took him to prison hospital and warded him
there.  Necessary medical treatment was then given by the medical officer, the
warden and the doctor on duty, it is learnt.
