“Yes, to starve. They feed you in Hell, but when you escape from it you starve. They were hunting me everywhere and I had no passport, no name. So I stole again. I stole these rags. I stole my food daily.

God curse them all.”

(a) When you are inside the prison, the police at least give you some food to eat. But when you are outside it, you starve.
(b) The Convict had no money. He needed food and rags. He was without any work. Hence, he had to steal for buying food and clothes.
(c) The Convict curses them all as they made him a thief and a beast from a man.
