Simon Gittany's new life in jail and what his girlfriend will see of him Life inside Silverwater: prison officers demonstrate how to properly restrain a troublesome inmate. Picture: News Limited. THE next time Rachelle Louise sees her boyfriend, convicted murderer, Simon Gittany, he will be wearing a prison jumpsuit in the concrete visits room under close circuit surveillance and behind three razor wire fences. He will be inmate Gittany with a prison number, living deep inside Australia's largest prison complex. Ms Louise will just be another woman visiting her man, rubbing shoulders at the chip machine with the wives and girlfriends of bikies, child molesters, drug dealers - and killers, just like Gittany. A walkway inside Silverwater remand prison. Gone in his designer suit and also absent may be his charm, for life among the unattractive, often foul-smelling one thousand male inmates is unlikely to put the hot-tempered Gittany in a good mood. On his first full day as a convicted murderer, Simon Gittany woke in a four by three metre cell on suicide watch in a protection wing located in the vast jail which lies 21km west of Sydney's CBD. Row of suicide watch cells at Silverwater prison. Strip searched, photographed and processed late yesterday after he was taken by prison van to the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre (MRRC) in the Sydney suburb of Silverwater, the 40-year-old inmate exchanged his designer suit for a set of prison greens. This morning, dressed in dark green track pants and matching T-shirt or sweatshirt, and wearing a pair of white Dunlop volley sandshoes, Gittany was given a breakfast bag of cereal and coffee, 300ml of milk and at least three slices of white bread. Inmates in prison greens. He was let out of his cell around 8am for exercise in an area with other inmates placed on protection because of the nature of their crime, or in Gittany's case, his notoriety, which could make him vulnerable to physical attack by a prisoner wanting to "make a name" for himself. When Ms Louise visits him, as she will be permitted to do almost every day of the week, Gittany will be trussed up in a white jumpsuit stamped "VISITS' in black letters and backzipped to allow as little propsect of "contraband" exchange as possible in the visiting area. Inmate living pod in Silverwater men's maximum security remand centre. Contraband can just mean food or books. It can also mean visitors handing inmates mobile phones and drugs, which the close circuit cameras in the room don't always pick up. Ms Louise is forbidden from bringing Gittany any gifts, anything to read and he will be banned access to computers, unless he is later given permission to undertake a course. He will be able to telephone her, and approved family members, on a prison landline in an often noisy public area. But his access to the internet or a mobile phone, while he is in jail, is finished. Gittany's new home: known as the "MRRC," Australia's largest prison complex in Sydney's west. Wherever he goes in his limited access to parts of Silverwater prison, Gittany will be under video camera surveillance. He will be accompanied by prison officers who carry state-of-the-art personal alarms, should Gittany's infamous temper take control of him. Officially opened in 1997, Silverwater prison shows the wear and tear of 16 years of a constant overturn of hundreds of thousands of inmates. After each visit by Ms Louise, or by his family, Gittany will be strip searched by prison officers to look for any contraband items he may have hidden. Convicted killer Simon Gittany won't see this suit and tie for many years to come, nor will he have a mobile phone or access to the internet. Picture: Adam Taylor. At any time in the pod where he is living, his cell may be opened in the middle of the night, he will be ordered to stand outside it while prison officers and dogs search for drugs, mobile phones, or even just SIM cards. Today, Gittany be will given sandwiches at lunchtime and locked back in his cell while he eats them. Sandwich selections include chicken, lettuce and mayonnaise, falafel and salad, roast beef and mustard, turkey, lettuce and cranberry and ham and salad. Three high fences topped with razor wire separate Gittany from the outside world. He will be let out of his cell again for a few hours this afternoon, then locked back in around 3.30pm for the evening. All he can do is watch television, or sleep. Tonight he will be given a "cook chill" meal, which is cooked then refrigerated in a process similar to hospital meals. Dinner may be chicken, lasagne - vegetarian or beef - pies, or spinach and ricotta burgers. Tomorrow, Gittany's day will be exactly the same. All Rachelle Louise will now see of her murderer boyfriend Simon Gittany is in a white prison jumpsuit in a concrete visits room. The dreary routine of prison time will set in, and is unlikely to change until Gittany is sentenced next year, after which he will be transferred to a maximum security jail like Goulburn or Lithgow. There he will meet murderers far more infamous than himself, such as the Anita Cobby and the Janine Balding killers. Then his only hope of returning to the high life he jettisoned when he threw fiancee Lisa Harnum over their apartment balcony is the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal. But given he chose a judge only trial, it less likely an appeals bench would overturn Judge Lucy McCallum's decision than a verdict made by a jury. If Rachelle Louise wants to reunite with Gittany as a free man, it will be a long wait, one that has tested many other relationships women have continued when their partners have been incarcerated - and failed. Simon Gittany will spend at least 16 hours a day in a cell like this.
