Behind Bars and Beyond

Welcome to Prison

Francesca's POV

I was led out of the van, allowing my eyes to adjust to the sunlight. I was guided through the gates of the prison I would now call my home for the near future.

As we got closer I was met with a short middle aged man with greying hair in a suit and next to him was another man that had a sick smirk on his face who wore a guards uniform.

"Welcome to Fox River Francesca, I'm sorry you got put here, it seems savage to put a woman with men, especially ones that probably haven't seen a woman in years" the older man smiled weakly at me.

"Yeah I didn't really get on with the judge" I smirked.

"Well I am the Warden, Henry Pope" the warden introduced as I smiled.

Bless, he seems too nice to be a warden. Like a teddy bear.

He gestured for me to follow him through the doors and into the building, leading to what I assumed was his office.

I was forced to sit in a chair infront of his desk.

"Since you are female I made sure you had a cell to yourself in gen pop, you will go to the infirmary everyday to check up with Dr Tancredi however you will have yard and tier time with other prisoners including shower time, I'm so sorry" Henry said, sitting down before filling me in on some information.

I thanked the Warden and was guided into another building by the guard who I learned was called Bellick.

...

It was a short walk and I felt uncomfortable as Bellick had a disgusting smirk plastered over his features.

"Let's meet your neighbours for the next ten years" he laughed evilly as he opened the door to gen pop, dragging me through roughly.

I winced at the slight pain he caused my arm and at the heavy door scratching against the floor.

I looked up at all the rows of cells, only to realise all the commotion made all the prisoners turn to look and see who the fresh meat is.

They soon realised from my feminine features that I was not a male.

And that's when they all started.

"Come here mama I can make you feel real good"

"Damn look at the fresh meat"

"What's your name baby?"

"You can share my cell honey"

I was guided to a cell on the bottom floor as the comments carried on, one prisoner even daring to reach out of his cell to feel me up.

"Open on cell 20!" Bellick called out.

The door opened and Bellick pushed me and chuckled as the doors closed.

"And if you need anything, you let me know" he said, licking his lips while eyeing me up.

I cringed internally as he strolled away.

I thanked the gods that I was protected by the bars and started to put my supplies from the box on the bottom bed.

"Hey sweet" I heard a thick southern accent from the right side of my cell.

I walked up to the bars and peered into the other cell as best as I could, not really getting far, only seeing a bony sunken face of a man in a mirror he was holding to be able to peer through to my cell.

I decided to try and be nice and smile.

Smile Francesca, I told myself, he could easily kill you.

"Such a beautiful face, listen doll, why don't you come into my cell next tier time and I can give you a good deal" he said, licking his lips.

I looked at him disgusted as I rolled my eyes.

So much for being nice Fran! You really need to start controlling your face.

I decided to ignore him for now.

"Well come on pretty I don't have all day" he called again.

"No thanks" I mumbled.

"I'll make you change your mind soon baby" I heard him say again.

"Doubt it" I was hoping he'd give up by now, but he kept going.

"Before I forget, I gotta ask what's the name pretty so I know who name I'm moaning"

"Get that thought out of your head" I replied before announcing to a silent block.

"I'm Francesca Fibonacci"
