Pulling chain

"Pulling Chain" Do you ever wonder what happens to all of your family members after the court room drama. After the news cameras and news articles dry up. After the victum impact statement's and the jury's verdict has been handed down. Let me tell you what happens from a insiders perspective. The condemed man or woman is shackled and transported to a county jail or other holding facility. And for the next several weeks we lay awake at night listening for the rattling of chains. We lay in our bunks in a two man cell until one early morning these rattling chains stop in front of your cell. And the guard calls your name. James junk and bunk. What that means is pack up your bunk and your junk and we will be back for you in a few minutes. During that few minutes you yell at your buddy 2 cells down. And you try to find a way to stall. But before you know it the guard is rushing you out. And the next thing you know you are standing in a room with several other men or women naked. With guards looking in every body cavity you have. After that you are handed a orange jumpsuit and then handcuffed and also shackled at the feet. And then you are shackled to several other inmates and then a black box placed over your handcuffs. After being loaded into a van or bus you begin a ride to a diagnostic center. Once you get to riding you see the city disappearing behind you. And then you end up in a rural area with horses and big haystacks everywhere. And you go into a facility with guards wearing cowboy boots. Once unloaded you again get stripped down and examined in all of your private areas. And then you are sprayed down with lice spray and debugged. After your shower you are given a test for hearing, sight a physical. Given a bed roll. And last but not least after all that your name is taken from you. You are no longer Randall James, you become inmate #183317. And then you begin a journey in a whole other world. Randall James #nnnnnnnn Pine Knot, Kentucky
