At a hanging! ...
Better learn the ROPES now!
no shame attached to a sojourn [stay] there [jail]!
you get free and good food at regular intervals!
Only the lack of women and tobacco are regarded as deprivations!
hastily commit some offence so that they may return there [jail] again!
because as yet he had not had the official SACK!
while we waited for our hanging!
'Maung Lu Gale, committed to death for murder, you may leave this jail with my full permission and consent'!
After which Maung Lu Gale did so!
Gentlewoman for Lady!

[Cf. "patriot" Bhagat Singh was reportedly "hanged" inside jail by British rulers ... his "dead body" was NOT handed over to his family ... "patriot" Arvind Kejriwal]
