Moonsting Jail

I need to figure out the layout of this place. I like to watch. Watch the cameras swivel, watch the guards, watch the other inmates. Lunch is at 12:00 sharp. If you don’t get there in time you don’t get anything.
I haven’t opened my mouth to talk yet, other than to pick mash potatoes over green beans. I hate green beans.

Oh, I learned today that sagging does get you butt-raped. I don’t sag, it slows you down. But another new guy did, and boy it was bad and I only heard it. Also, never drop the soap.

But, that isn’t all I think about. I’m a business man. Maybe not a truthful or fair one, but a business man all the same. I like money. Money might not help as much in jail, but it will when I get out. And there are always favors to give and be given.

When I’m done here, this won’t be Jackson County jail anymore. It’ll be Moonsight Jail.

Doesn’t that sound nice?
