“Officer Lee, can I ask you for a favor?” Officer Viviette walked inside the surveillance room where warden Lee was picking a popcorn while rotating in his reclining chair.His eyes were solemnly fixed on the large monitor and when he realized who had joined, he didn't bother to spare her a glance.“Officer Lee?” Officer Viviette called again when the man didn't respond.Warden Lee snapped his neck sideways, “What?! Why are you fucking calling my name like a dickwad?” Officer Viviette was shocked by his aggravated tone.“Wow, why are you raising your voice at me” she had to ask.The two had different jobs in the prison, and they have never posted them in the same place together and if they walked past each other, there wasn't anything to talk about as they weren't close work colleagues.Warden Lee sized her up with contempt lingering in his eyes.“What the fuck do you want?” Officer Viviette who was still hanging half outside the door and half inside sighed in tiredness. She inser

Early in the morning, inmates jugged around the courtyard, doing their morning exercise. Lewis has not been allowed contact with the others for a while now so when they saw him handcuffed wrist to ankle, they halted and plastered on the courtyard net to watch him.It was just a normal cool with the sun still hiding behind the clouds and the fog from last night cleared up before dawn. Two police men with assault rifles held Lewis on the elbow as they escorted him to the jail van.Words had gone round since that night, it is widely known that Lewis murdered one of the top inmates and not only would he face the consequences of the law but the inmates were seriously cheering for his death.Some of them picked rocks and tried hurling it outside the net but it was not possible.“Son of a mongrel”“Cut that dickhead limpy!”“I swear, you better don't come back to gen Pop! I will kill you myself!”“Fuck you Baker!”They sounded aggravated. Death was a normal thing in Chicago prison but the in

“Boss, I heard that fish was sentenced to death, I don't have to do the job again, right?” Nash approached Chun Li in the flight of stairs when he was going downstairs to have a cigarette.“What? Come here,” his voice was deep and smoky.Nash fidgeted but he knew better not to waste time, so he drew closer to Chun Li.“Do you know that all deaths are not the same? There is different pain for each death and there are levels to these pains,” he puffed smoke into the air.“Now, when he dies through legal execution, he dies peacefully with the Lord, because men who serve God will pray and have him to repent before execution. But when he dies by the blade of this dagger, he dies with his sins and the blood of an innocent man,” Chun Li explained with all seriousness.He pinched Nash on the cheek making him contour his face in pain.“Do you see the difference now?” he asked.“Ye-ye-yes!” Nash cried.“And if you really want to join my gang, this is your assignment. I believe you know what hap

When she got to the office, she unlocked the door and stepped in. The heater was on, and immediately she felt the warmth, she had to lean her back on the door for a minute before exhaling heavily.Then she started rummaging her drawer for the key to the drug center. It was next door beside her. She found the key and stood in front of the door.Staff were not ordinarily allowed in there, the door is only opened every Saturdays to refill drugs or on days inmates were released and they would need them to sign a paper or on rare days death row inmates are to be executed like Lewis.She sighed before unlocking the door. The coolness of the placid room chilled her, and the white ambience added to the fresh smell of mint. They sprayed nontoxic substances to mask the smell of drugs.Immediately she went to the file holder and searched through. It didn't take time to find Lewis's file. She exhaled again, perhaps she should carry this to her office and read. They are yet to install a CCTV in h

Officer Viviette didn't waste a second to head to CEO Connor's office, she was over the moon but she tried hard to hide it, though the little blush on her face gave her out.Bringing her to ask herself, was she happy because Lewis wasn't her attacker or that fair justice will be served?“When did he say this?” CEO Connor asked.“Not too long ago.”“Officer Viviette, you went against my order. Didn't you get my message?” CEO Connor asked, his face was void of any emotions.“But we were about to execute the wrong man, aren't you happy that we didn't make this big mistake?” “Happy?” he sighed, “All of them are equal.”But officer Viviette disagreed with that, she inwardly shook her head. Even though those prisoners have been termed as harmful people, she couldn't say that for Lewis. She always has a strange feeling when it comes to him and after this she should privately look into this matter.“We will reinvestigate the case again, and if it turns out that the original trial was wrong,
