I am the sister of Ricky Morris, my name is Cheryle and i decided to put this website together as a
tribute to my brother.
I can not mention to much about the other men as i didn't know them, please feel free to contact me if
you knew them i would be happy to add stuff to this site as well.

Let me fill you in a little bit, many years ago i thought i had dealt with the death of my brother and i
came to my own conclusion that i had accepted what had happened and was ready to let go of all the pain
and anger that resolve around this (never forgot tho). This event had affected me badly i wasn't in a
good way, not a bright time to make the decision to 'let go and move on'.
One night i sat out my back yard and burnt every thing of Ricky's that i had gotton over the years, his
files, his escape &capture clippings, the fire and all the rest of the paper work that ended up closing
pentridge, in a matter of minutes all the paper work went up in flames.

In "99" i had what i called a spiritual awakening and abolished my addictions, a few months later as my
head became clearer i thought "what have i done"i've destroyed all the information on my dearly
beloved brother it was then i believe my true grieving for him had begun. It all was to much for me so
much pain came up i went into blockout mode as i didn't want to go back to my old life style.

It was "03" and i decided to acknowledge what had happen and i started my searching again, i searched
and searched i couldnt find what i wanted, as far as i came close to anything was a man called Dave and
his website, we had contact, as the weeks went by it all came up for me again 'pain pain', I thought i was
strong enough but i wasn't so i stopped once again.

Now its "05"; and im feeling some stuff but i feel im strong enough to cope with it all.
I know today that no drink or drug is going to bring my brother back to me so on with my journey i shall
continue, "No Pain No Gain".
Yes there is and always will be pain with this all but i will be stronger at the end of it and finally i will be able to
lay my brother to rest within my own head and at peace we both will be.

Sept '06' Well here i am again after starting all that in '05' i did read alot of stuff & had contact with few
people about the death of my brother and yes it all brought me down again, my feelings in this time were
anger & sadness to how all this with my brother had occured, it all became to much and the fault i found
within me was that i didnt grab the proper support network towards all of this so i crashed again. This
time round im feeling heaps stronger and have got out of my revenge mode and now just here to let all
know what happen & how it happened as i believe 'Ricky' would have wanted me to do this so i have
bought the name 'JikaMemorial.com' and im moving forward with all of this. Why did i change the name
from 'PentridgeMemorial' because it was suggested to me that Pentridge was "all of the prison" where
as 'JikaJika' was just part of Pentridge, so i narrowed it to jika as thats where it all happened.

The point of me telling you all that stuff was i have very little info on Ricky and his stay at Pentridge/JikaJika
'81'-'87' if you knew him or even know anything regarding his escape from Bendigo {i think he was
there about a week in early '87'} i would love to hear from you, maybe you didn't know him well but
knew his name even thats a help.
What may be little to you may just be big for me, i would like to learn about the Ricky on the inside, i
knew Ricky as a brother, can you help?
Yes i feel better ive gotton that all out, writing is good some times 'try it'.

*Let me just say 1 last thing i have learnt "nothing is impossible" give something a go if it works it does
if it dont well at least you tried!!!!!
