  I grew up on the Central Coast &amp; have always known Gosford Boys Home as Mt Penang Boys Home &amp; spent close to a week there before being transferred to another home in Sydney.<br>When I was there, you were in a huge dorm room, similar to an army barracks. Your bed had to be made pretty much the same as a recruit would. There was no large fence to scale if you were going to do a runner but the &quot;Store Boys&quot; (Trustees) would run you down &amp; the word was if they caught up with you, you copped a flogging.<br>That was back in the 80&apos;s, I can&apos;t imagine how brutal it would have been in Chow&apos;s days there. Thinking on that it&apos;s easy to see why those who ended up in institutions in the early days lost all respect for authority.

  I always feel weird seeing horrible criminals who commit seriously atrocious crimes and murders who make it to a ripe old age such as 70-80+. I&apos;ve always naturally felt like old people could have never committed horrible crimes then you find out they can and have &nbsp;and it literally shakes you to your core because it messes with how you view others.

  Never worked a day in his life. Stood over people to put money in his pocket. The book &quot;Chow Hayes, Gangster&quot; is well worth a read, even just to get a feel of Sydney during those days.
