The Black Gazza Alpha

Chapter 2: Color-Coded

As Meyus is lowered into the cell blocks by the elevator, his restraints are removed. He rubs his wrists to help relieve some of the soreness from the cuffs. As he looks around on the different floors they pass, he sees different colored uniforms. He looks to the guard transporting him and begins to speak. "What's with the rainbow in here?" The guard starts pointing at the different colors, explaining each one. "First, there is orange. These are the normal inmates that are here just because they have to be. They don't normally do anything, but those that do, tend to get their color changed."

As they pass the medical floor, where green and white prisoners are talking. "Next one is green. These prisoners tend to be used by the doctors for medical experiments." As he says those words, Meyus shudders. "As for the white, those inmates are labeled 'mental.' In other words, they are the crazies of this place." Meyus nods as they reach the cell blocks. A couple pink-clad prisoners wait at the doors, rubbing their bodies against the guard and Meyus, before being shoved away. "Get back! Damn vultures." As they walk into the main area, the guard chuckles. "Pink is for 'sexual' meaning prostitutes, sex addicts, and others." Meyus looks at him questioningly. "Others?"

"You caught onto that huh?" He shakes his head before smirking, "Some prisoners have messed with the guards a little too badly." As they pass by some guards, he turns and whispers into his ear. "Some guards here have a tendency to 'play' with the inmates that fuck with them. Those prisoners, if found fun, are moved to pink, so the other guards know who to 'play' with."

As they approach a door with a blue light over it, the guard turns to face him. "This is your cell block, and the final color, Blue. Blue is used for dangerous inmates. Murderers, fighters, and ones who don't give a fuck. They tend to stand up to the guards, like what you did when you entered in here." He opens the door and leads Meyus inside. "Beds are on a first come, first served basis. If all 6 are occupied, you sleep on the floor." He turns and pats Meyus on the shoulder, "Try to stay out of trouble if you can."

As the guard exits, Meyus enters into cell B-6 and flops onto the bed, before realizing it was rock hard, with no pillow. He exclaims in pain and holds his back. "Well shit!" He starts talking to himself, "This is gonna be a long sentence. I can already tell." As he mutters those words, he rolls over and falls asleep, only to be woken up by shouting out in the main area.
