Just Desserts



WHAM!

"What are you guys doing?!"

Early this morning I was abruptly wakened, and rolled over to see two guards with one flashlight focused on two inmates in the bathroom with a spoon in one hand and a pen in the other.

"What's in the spoon?" the bigger guard snarked.

"Sweet and Low," replied one inmate, dipping his finger into the spoon and licking it.


"Let me see that pen!"

"it's a just a pen...see?" The inmate raised the pen in the air playfully.

"They're so high," the smaller guard falsely observed.

Humiliated, the larger of the guards said, "No, they just pulled one on us. They're not shooting up. Now you two, go on to bed."

The two inmates, trying to hold back an outburst of laughter at the over-zealous guards' mistake, hopped onto their bunks. They has just pulled a prank on the guard that had broken our water fountain and hounded us over every little slip. This guy was certainly not a well-liked guard, even among his co-workers, and they had just made him the red-faced victim.That prank was well worth the early awakening.

SLAM!

The two embarrassed guards stomped out of our dorm.

I found this blog by searching the web on banned books for TDCJ because we have had issues with the system for my husband. He is trapped in the system for a crime he did not commit but allowed the system to get a win for itself. I plan to book mark this site and check back often. Thank you and your family.
