How Pisterious Spent First Day Behind Bars

Pistorius has spent his first hours behind bars with 7000 criminals who will share the same prison as him for the next 10 months, reports said.
Shortly after his sentence yesterday, the athlete was driven in a police van to the prison in Pretoria where he spoke with a chaplain and a psychologist.
Early today Australian time the athlete was settling in for his first night in a single cell in the jail’s hospital wing where he will no doubt have a fitful sleep.
The Kgosi Mampuru II prison’s area commissioner, Zebilon Monama, last night told the South African Press Association that when Pistorius arrived at the jail he was tired and tense and a chaplain had spoken with him.
“He is deurmekaar (confused), as they say in Afrikaans. After he saw the chaplain our psychologist went to see him, just to try talk to him,” Sapa quoted Mr Monama as saying.
As expected, Pistorius was placed in a single cell in the hospital as a result of his physical disability and vulnerability.
Mr Monama said that after his arrival at the jail yesterday Pistorius was fingerprinted and searched, his details put into a computer and he was given a prison number.
A nurse had been there to open a medical file.
He was given orange prison garb, which all prisoners must wear in jail.
