Considering this is a prequel from my most favourite lunaverse fics I know I will really enjoy this story. ^^
Oh Bantu. You really, truly should have known better.
Okay that chapter was rather quickly paced. I guess this overall story is going only to be a few chapters long? Or are you planning for us to see Bantu in prison life?

Yeah this is going to be a short story. We still have a couple of chapters to go.
Good story but there one thing that doesn't make much sense in the Lunaverse. Because Luna is nocturnal so should Trixie be at this time because she's being taught by her. So that Bantu barges in the middle night at Trixie door shouldn't really upset her.
I would have been better if it was during the Day time when he barges in that would have made Trixie all grumpy.

That is a good point. I've changed it so that it says Bantu disturb her while she was trying to sleep rather than saying it was the middle of the night.
You know somepony else would like to have listened to that lecture.

Luna isn't *purely* nocturnal. She goes to sleep after raising the Sun (at around 5-6 AM, depending on the time of year), then sleeps until around 1-2 PM (again depending on the time of year). So Luna (and by extension, Canterlot) is awake in the afternoon and through to the evening.
Robbing a train with medical supplies. Bantu, you asshole.
Oh, Bantu. I hate you more and more.
Bantu, behold all the fucks I give about you getting arrested!
What a rather large amount there is, you bastard.
Good story. Is it done?

One more chapter.

Excellent. Looking forward to it. :D
Hey, you've posted 4 times in the last year. By Lunaverse standards, that's excellent speed
You know, I've read that there are over 2.5 million convicts in the USA & they blame a lot of people for their incarceration. The cops, their defense attorney, the judge, the jury (for those that went to trial). AFAIK, not one of them just stands up & says "I'm here because I'm the scum of the Earth & I did horrible things. I'm here because I deserve to be here."
Still, I suppose that if they were the type to accept responsibility for the consequences of their actions, they wouldn't have done the things that got them sent to prison.
Well, the ending rendered the preceding a complete waste of time. Still, I went to the trouble of writing it so I'm damn well going to post it.

The problem is that MTV wasn't invented until 1981, so it's hard to find good videos of older stuff.
I've heard that when Johnny Cash did the prison concert, they told him not to mention the prison. His response was "You mean to tell me that you think that if I don't mention the prison, they won't remember that they're in jail?" (IIRC)
Also, if this is finished you need to change the heading to "complete"
This was a good story overall glad we see some closure about those two brothers.

Hmm.... strange here in the Netherlands we have more then a few convicts that admit they were at fault. Is it perhaps that in the Netherlands we focus more on rehabilitation of convicts then punishing them? What I mean is in the Netherlands we actually want to prevent someone to go back to criminal activities once they are released. So more time and effort is made to make sure they won't fall back in their old criminal ways. And it seems to work. We have closed many of our prisons because of the lack of inmates. Which is kinda weird because our population is growing.

The USA has more prisoners than Communist China (#2 place in the world). Based on per capita rate, we have about 10x as many. But, even in raw numbers, we have more than they do even though they have close to 4x our population. (We're #1!, We're #1)
Could be because you guys don't usually put people in prison for illegal drug use (or so I've read).
But, ask someone for help just because the facts say that they're better at it than we are? Phh! As if!

Actually our drug policy is a bit more complicated then that. We actually made a definition between hard and soft drugs. The hard drugs is illegal and you will be send to prison if your dealing with it. 2nd Drug use itself isn't illegal in the Netherlands. But the consequences that may arrive from it is. I think the best example would be driving under influence. So if your intoxicated while driving you really are going to get severely punished if caught.
It may sound strange it actually works. Drugs is seen like alcohol in the Netherlands. It is your choice to use it but you need be informed about the consequences and how to properly use it. By actually informing about Drug use. (School teaches that to children around the age 11-12) I was actually taught what it does and what the consequences are to my mind and body. I know what Marijuana, Canbis, Crack, Speed, Heroine, etc... does to my mind and body and how addictive they are to the human body. Also sugar, alcohol, medicine and cigarettes belong to the same subject as drugs. It teaches you to be discouraged to use it in a subtle way and if you plan to use it then do it in moderation.
The reason this works I think is because the Dutch government is build around the concept to protect and guide the "weaker" ones in society (such as children and the poor) and don't let them up to their fate. In other words the government helps those whom are in need. But won't ever trespass in personal liberty and choice. The only exception to that rule is when you trespass others of their rights and belongings. For example an addict that goes on a crime spree to fund his/her addiction and once caught be send in prison and TBS. Even when your jail tail is over TBS will still continue. TBS means your surveillance by specialist to help you become a functional member of society again. Under TBS you actually have lost your liberty of choice. They decide how much drugs (if any at all) you may daily take. They guide you to become clean, help you get to a job. Also Psychiatry help is included in it.
Note: That not all those who end up prison get TBS. TBS is only reserved to those we know will fall back to their old ways otherwise. It is hard to get rid off once enforced but not impossible. You have to prove by action and reports that you have cleaned your way.
Last Note: TBS is also given to Psychopaths, Molesters, etc.... and those never get a chance to get rid of it. It's also possible to ask for TBS without ever going to prison. It's not that uncommon either. Many Pedophilla's in the Netherlands actually asked TBS in order for to prevent themselves for ever committing such an act.
It actually another choice when you think about it. They choice to have help and government provides help.

Here in the USA, it's also complicated. Most adults think that Marijuana should be legal. The problem is that:
1)Most voters don't think it's important enough to change which candidate to vote for. Most of the ones that do, tend to be the ones that are against it.
2)It's gotten to be a moral issue. If you are in favor of legalizing or decriminalizing drugs (sounds like your policy on drugs), then you are seen as "soft on crime" & you're going to have problems.
Although we tend to use the words as though they meant the same thing, we are a republic, NOT a democracy. States where they have "initiative" (that is, you can circulate a petition for a law & if it gets enough signatures then it goes on the ballot & gets voted on directly, bypassing the legislature) mostly have "medical marijuana" (that is you can get a doctor's prescription for it). For good and for ill, Federal law trumps state law (part of what the War Between the States (1861-1865) was fought for) & Donald Trump is talking about having federal prosecutors go after them. Be interesting to see if a jury would convict. (I dare say that the defendants will find it fascinating)
Places where they don't have initiative......have you ever seen the movie Reefer Madness
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=reefer+madness&&view=detail&mid=2DC00CC087DEECD8DDB32DC00CC087DEECD8DDB3&FORM=VRDGAR. If you don't speak English, you'll have to get a subtitled version but it's worth it.
But, we're getting pretty far off the story. If you want to talk, send me an e-mail.
Good ending. Although to be honest, I don't have a single shred of sympathy for either Galeb or Bantu. Not a bit.
8589732
And that is fine but this story was never about creating sympathy for either character. They only have themselves to blame for what happened to them. What matters is that they both have a chance to become better. They're flawed but not irredeemable. Now it's up to them to be willing to change.
8590666
Not sure on the 'irredeemable' part, considering the horse apples they got up to. Then again I can be a bitter guy. ;)
Ah, the ending to this was nice. Even in prison, Equestria tries to provide happy endings. Or at least the promise of one.
