I recently have discovered a familiar face today, although they do not recognize themselves…
There was a man I knew back when I worked for the prison, he was in the locked up unit for quite some
time while I was starting my career. I never knew much about him at first though the guards would warn
me on a constant basis. They gave him the nickname of “Coil Snake†which I questioned during my
interactions with them.
I was told that they gave him this nickname because he would spend his time in solitary confinement
curled up into a ball on top of the mattress and has a unique (to put it lightly) past.
I learned about it, not through the guards but by stumbling upon some files that were scattered across
the prison floor while working a late shift. His real name was blanked out with black marker on all of the
papers with the only identification being the nickname that I heard next to it in red ink. I decided to pick
it up off of the floor and bring it to my office.
The more that I read of the information the more I cringed…
“Coil Snake†was incarcerated a long time ago as a child, being one of the youngest prisoners in Malton’s
justice system. He was committed for severe mental illness and it was difficult to provide him with
treatment options.
The writings contained that his father was a public figure while his mother predominantly raised him. I
saw several photographs of his mother included within the data. She had scars all over her body, recent
bruises and multiple fractures. She was also admitted to the hospital many times in the past with an
extensive medical history.
As I continued to turn the pages, I noted that his father was arrested and prosecuted for abuse. “Coil
Snake†was also prosecuted for murdering his father, mother and sibling at the young age of 8 and sent
for medical treatment in a psychiatric facility within Malton.
“Coil Snake†was found to be withdrawn during therapy according to numerous psychologists.
As time progressed it was noted that his father was an authoritarian at home with his wife. His father
had several violent episodes; the end result would be the hospital visits and the increased medical bills.
“Coil Snake†revealed during his treatment sessions that he couldn’t handle his mother’s weakness. He
couldn’t stand his mother for being “weak†and vulnerable to his father. He strangled her with a
telephone cord and went after his father with a kitchen knife. He was later seen by authorities while
walking down the street caked in blood.
The police were naturally concerned and took him home where they witnessed the crime scene.
Authorities put “Coil Snake†into a mental facility for treatment, which he has been subjected to for a
prolonged period of time.
During further examination of the crime scene it was revealed that his mother was pregnant. “Coil
Snake†did not have any recognition of this fact until the age of 10. He became further regressive as he
aged and displays signs of remorse for his sibling, although he shows extreme hostility to topics
concerning his mother as she is seen to him as being “inferiorâ€.
One psychologist stated that he witnessed the patient consume his own feces, state that he was a god
and that he aggressively resisted communication. Other times it was noted that he would be solemn and
start crying by himself and when approached he would than resort to violence…
His diagnosis include:
-Bereavement and guilt issues due to death of his sibling
- Oppositional defiant disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Retrograde amnesia
-Regression to childish behaviour, suppresses what happened to him
-Believes his own bodily products promote life with the rationalization that his sibling existed inside of
his mother (however he psychologically suppresses this reasoning)
