Beneath him in a solitary cell on the ground floor is Dimitrios loannidis, who overthrew Papadopoulos in 1973 to become dictator himself until democracy was restored in 1974. Ioannidis spends most of his time alone, reading military history and books about the CIA. Even so, he occasionally gives parties in his cell that are attended by convicted torturers, members of his despised ESA military police, who reside on the third floor. The bumpkin of the bunch, according to Papathanassiou, is former Deputy Premier Stylianos Pattakos, whose meek acceptance of abuse by fellow inmates and blind devotion to " his President" make him the butt of prison-yard jokes. Pattakos even gets pelted with tomatoes and eggs thrown by other prisoners. He takes solace in religious tracts sent to him by a Greek monk, but he is prone to fits of temper and once, Papathanassiou says, stormed into the governor's office complaining about prison regulations. In reply, Papathanassiou handed him a copy of the rule book, signed by, among others, Stylianos Pattakos.
