"Good Morning.....how may I help you?"
"I called yesterday afternoon regarding prison archive records"
"Oh yes.....come through"
I walked along a long and dank corridor....it looks more like a prison than an archive centre for records.
I followed the woman until we reached a door....she opened it up....there were rows and rows of filing cabinets.
"Your looking for a specific record?"
"Yes.......connected to the local womens prison"
"Ah yes......she led me to a smaller ante room.....there was only one filing cabinet contained within"
She walked to the filing cabinet.....there was only one file inside....she took it out.....thickly bound with tape and containing a lot of information....I took the binder from her.
"Is there anything else you need?"
"No.....I am hoping to find the answer in this binder"
"Ok.....when you are finished please replace the folder into the filing cabinet....there is a camera above and I will come back to lock up"
"You have been most helpful"
She walked out of the room and I undid the bow.....this shouldn't take too much time.....I found the details about the prison....history....governors past and present.....I checked all the details and then my face fell.....it was a family run prison.
I was ready to put the details back in the binder when I noticed something else.....there was a picture of the current governess of the prison.....if this was right then whoever was in charge was not the person in the picture.......I took my mobile phone out of my pocket and made it look like I was accessing a message....I took a photo and then moved the picture to the external card on the phone.
Resetting the bow I put the folder back into the cabinet and waited for the lady to return.
"Hello.....did you find what you were looking for?"
"I didn't.....further information is needed"
"You can apply to the national prison archives but there is a fee"
"Ok....I will need to clear this with my office"
"Come back to this office and we can fill in the request form"
I had deduced from this that she had not seen me use the phone....I could imagine this job to be quite mundane.
She walked me out of the archives.....I walked to my car and made my way to the prison to try and get some further information.
