10/09/2012 – Argumentation For Imprisonment



The detainee is a schizophrenic who requests that we address him by his self-given nickname Elephant (presumably due to his tendency to wear grey clothes) . First found kneeling and begging inside the main concourse of the Grand Central Terminal he was given a pardon. When later again located sitting on a street-corner in the Lower East Side with a black and empty open briefcase, a smile, and a handwritten cardboard-sign we proceeded to detain the subject. (The detainee’s sign reads “May the happinesses your delusions bring you be true. May they shelter you. I am homeless.”)
