Counting the Days

I can't pick it out, but it kindof kindof looks like "demarche", french for "saturday".

I could be wrong, but I think it says Lemache, a surname used in Belgium.

Demarche, French for Saturday? I don't know what French you learned, but for Saturday, we say "samedi". Sunday, however, is "dimanche", which looks a bit like "demarche". We use "démarche" for things like processes and "taking steps to obtain something".

What if those aren't marking days, but marking years?

They were marking something,but I don't know if they ever got out because they weren't marking it correctly.

Wow, these types of markings are pretty standard in prisons.
