Prison Cell Research Paper
The prison cell walls are cold hard concrete walls, they are rough too the touch, the smell of concrete dust from the carving of the previous cellie fills the air. The three concrete walls and the metal barred door are more intimidating that a hungry grizzly bear finding his first meal in months. You never get used to the metal barred door slamming behind you, it just sends a chill down your spin like you're in the middle of a frozen lake and the thin ice is slowly cracking beneath you. The wall to your left as you walk into the cell is a not so plain concrete wall because it is covered with the carvings from myself and other prisoners. The far wall has two small slits over seeing the prison courtyard. I often wonder if I would be able to squeeze through the slit but hold off in fear of having my sentience extended.

The wall to your right as you walk into the cell has a sink, toilet and a bunk bed.
The sink is made of cold hard aluminum and in winter it is cold to the touch. The toilet is also made from aluminum and in winter it is so cold that it hurts your asscheaks when you take your morning
crap. The bunk bed is very small. On the bunk there is a small hard mattress and one thin pillow. In summer we get one sheet and one blanket and in winter we get one sheet, blanket and duvet. My cellmate smells like a dirty pig and he acts like one too. I have never met such an animal in my life let alone lived with one.His snores echo throughout the cell every night like the roar of a lion. Being in the cell has a depressing vibe to it. It makes you think why was I stupid enough to do that one last job. It makes you wish you were still having hot coco with your wife and children. At the same time the prison cell is awfully boring, there is not a lot to do that passes the time. Every day at dawn and dusk it’s role call. As the head guard calls the names of all the inmates you hear the sound of the other guard walking along the catwalks dragging their batons along the hard metal bars, “BANG, BANG BANG”, as it gets louder you start to tremble because you know the guards will thrash you if you so much as look at them, they get away with it because they often twist stories in their favour.
