day 3?

supppp. it was a chill morning today. Got to catch some extra much needed z's this morning since we didn't have to meet till 10. We went to the courts at Langaside today and go to see a very interesting case about a man who grew 15 plants of cannabis. Although I might add that the representative for the defendant completely lost the attention of the jury. He went on about how you can't possible prove "intent to supply" over and over again for half an hour. Kind of a weak argument if you ask me.

After Langaside we went to the high courts which dealt with more civil cases such as damage, etc. Those were interesting as well.

Best part of the day was when we visited the Hydebank Wood facility. It basically is a prison for young men and women. Compared to the American prison system, I felt like Hydebank was a lot more leniant in their policy. Many of the inmates had a lot of freedoms that prisoners in America wouldn't be able to have. Interesting to note the various differences that took place.

After Hydebank Wood, all the tabu kids and the hosts got together at Victoria Square for some dinner and shopping. We had a good time. Spent the rest of the night chilling at home with Tori. LONDONDERRY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!! SUPER EXCITED!
