Prisoner Of Tehran: A Memoir (No Series) - Plot & Excerpts
Sarah told me. It was my first night at 246. She explained that we got warm water only once every two or three weeks, and each time for only two to three hours. Our room’s turn to use the showers would be at around two in the morning. “Each person has ten minutes in the shower. I’ll wake you up,” she said.It was time to go to sleep. The lights in the rooms were turned off at eleven every night, but the lights in the hallway remained on at all times. Sarah introduced me to the girl who was in charge of “beds.” Each of us received three blankets. Everyone slept on the floor side by side, each person with a designated spot that was rotated occasionally. There were so many girls that even the hallways were used for sleeping. I got a spot next to Sarah in the room. I triple-folded one of my blankets and used it as a mattress, the second one was my pillow, and the third was my cover. When everyone had settled down, there was no room to spare. Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night proved to be a challenge; it was almost impossible to reach the bathroom without stepping on someone.
