With his former prison warden in one prison cell
Antonín Husník was transferred to the Leopold prison from the Jáchymov forced-labor camp. A motley crew of inmates gathered in this prison during his term. In the prison cell, there was for instance General Janoušek, who had organized the creation of the Czechoslovakian units in the RAF during WWII, or General Syrový, a legionary accused of collaborating with the Nazis after the war. Imprisoned in Leopoldov were also some of the post-war ministers. The inmates in Leopold were gradually joined by some of the police officers and prison wardens who had interrogated the political prisoners in the 1950s. For example, a former warden by the name of Bohata, who had interrogated Antonín Husník. "After these communist scoundrels had hung each other, it was the turn of some of the investigators who had handled the political cases in the 1950s. They said that they had acted against the law, they tried them and they put them in jail. Bohata got seven years - for abusing his authority," he recalled. And so it happened that a former prison warden found himself in the same cell as Husník and other political prisoners whom he had previously patrolled: "Suddenly, Bohata stood in the door. Especially us, the young, we were looking forward to the evening. But General Janoušek decided that we would completely ignore him. It was the General's decision. But we were really mad at it since we were terribly eager to give him a proper thrashing."
