Narrative Essay On Small Security Prison

Improved Essays
A man was walking up and down the aisle, baton in hand, with his security badge on his light gray shirt that looks like it was just polished. He was on a prison bus, making sure these inmates didn't try anything stupid, watching them closely. However, there was one in particular he was keeping a close eye on. His name you might ask? Jared. Jared Smith. He was nothing special, but what he did to get into the place he is now was so unspeakable, so terrifying, that everyone hated him.

He became a new man, and was taught his lesson for doing the unspeakable things he did. He will never be the same, but that's what happens when you can’t feed yourself and have to steal cookies from the cookie jar. No one ever saw him again after he left, but no one cared. He broke the law after
