Little girl only stole one apple British history

** Yesterday a little girl was sent to prison for 13 days for just stealing one apple. After she has been there she will be sent off to a Reform school for 3 years. ** Yesterday a little girl named Kati stole an apple because she was starving and she needed something to eat. The police captivated her while she was eating the apple. We were there and saw the poor little girl be dragged away. The girl was crying and begged the policemen to let her go and promised that she never would do things like that again, but they only laughed and said: “We don’t care what you say. You are nothing. Nobody cares about you. It’s not like you are going to have a life anyway, little funny bugger!” Afterwards they sent her right to prison without even mention it to her family.

She has to be in the same place as grown ups. Is that really fair that a little girl has to be in the same area as murderers and rapists? She must be scared to death. She will have ugly old men and women staring creepily at her and touching her and she can’t do anything to protect herself. It’s not for certain that she will survive the days in prison. The policemen don’t even bother to help her.

Prison is not the only thing she has to go through. If she survives the harsh days in prison she will be sent off to a Reform school. There she will be for 3 whole years. She will not be able to see her parents before she has done her time. At the Reform school she has to work all day long. We have talked with the leader at the Reform school and he said that she has to get up early and work every single day. “She deserves it”, he said. When the clock turns ten in the evening she will be sent back to the Reform school where she will go to sleep and wake up five o’clock the next morning. It will be really tough for her and she will get one or two meals a day if she is lucky. Think about it. For stealing one apple because she was starving to death she gets the most unthinkable punishment. She must be totally ruined if she survives both jail and Reform school. She will be damaged for life, just because she was hungry and needed something to eat.
