他对生活感到无望，不知道要在里面呆多久。他没有多少文化，也不聪明，不知道如何适应这种拘留生活。虽然身陷囹圄，他象如何人一样，有自己的希望，兴趣，儿女和家庭。他不希望自己像笼中鸟，园中兽一样无所作为。他不善于书面表达自己的感情，在拘留中心最好的时光就是畅想自己能重获自由，开心工作，并追求自己的信仰。但大多数时间他在沮丧中度过。他一直睡眠不良，头痛不止，却不知道如何描述。他对生活丧失信念，一步步崩溃。他不知道这样的羁押生活何时才是尽头，感到未来没有希望。他精神恍惚，焦虑，无法集中神思。他真的希望有人能帮他一把。他想念妻子和一双女儿，虽然自己失去自由，他仍然挂念着子女的教育和生活。他多希望自己能有一份工作，给他们经济上的支持，尽一个父亲的责任，不管工作多么辛劳都没有关系。他真的不愿带着一颗破碎的心，两手空空和自己亲人见面。他常常为拘留中心荒废光阴而唏嘘不已，绝望，失败的痛苦一点点吞噬着他。如果有在押人员试图自残，自尽，或听说一人被强制遣返，他心理上的的惧怕和绝望难以用语言描述。

He is sunken in a world of disappointment. He doesn’t know how long he would stay inside for this unending journey. He is not a well-educated person. Neither he is a smart person. He doesn’t know how to adapt to this detention life. Though being locked behind, he, like any human being, has wishes, interests, dependants, family and expectation. He doesn’t want to be a poor bird in the cage, or like an animal in a refugee zoo without doing anything. He is not good at expressing his feeling in writing. When he is thinking about freedom, rights to work and rights to pursue his spiritual belief, it is his best time in detention. However for the most of his time in detention, he felt very depressed. He has ongoing sleep difficulties and some of persistent headaches. He doesn’t know how to describe this devastating effect. He is losing faith and breaking down. His world is falling apart. He feels that he has no destiny or certain future with indefinite sentence. He is suffering from psychological problems, trauma, anxiety, and lack of concentration. He needs someone to help. He really needs help. He is missing his wife and two children very much. He is worrying about their education and their well-being even though he himself has no freedom for the moment. He wishes that he could fulfil his duty as a father by offering them financial help through his hard work, no matter how hard it is. He cannot meet his loved ones empty handed with a broken heart. So he is always lamenting his life wasted in detention. He is haunted by the sense of despair and defeat. If one of the detainees is attempting to commit self-harm in detention centre or he has seen or heard forcible removal in the centre, it is difficult for him to describe the bleakness of his nagging despair.
