Correctional Officer Stark paged through a day-old newspaper from the relative comfort of his folding chair, awaiting the 7 PM dinner bell. Looking up from a column entitled MEERKAT SAVES CLEVELAND, he took a moment to glare in the general direction of his charges- not that they'd really done anything worth glaring at yet, he just wanted the inmates to know he was onto... Whatever it was they were doing. 44 Block had been suspiciously quiet the last few days, and it didn't take a genius to know that these goobers were collectively a ticking time bomb of pent-up aggression and poor decision making skills rivaled only by that of a 60-year-old fast food counter jockey. Basically, it was only a matter of time before something stupid happened.
That wasn't to say 44 Block was particularly hard to manage, mind. Two cells high by five cells long, with two inmates assigned to a cell. Maximum capacity of twenty, with vacancies a luxury they could rarely afford. Sure, he'd always been pretty leery of the electromagnetic locks on the cell doors, but the shutters that seperated the cell block from the rest of the facility were on the same circuit, so in the event of an emergency all the kids could really do was beat the shit out of each other until the guards had the place on lockdown. Not a bad system on the whole, but a bad place to be if you were in the cell block with 'em when the shutters came down. He shuddered involuntarily.
"One more day..." Stark mumbled as he he returned to his paper. Just one more day. After that he'd have his two days off and the whole place could go to hell if it so chose. He took a deep breath, trying to center himself like they'd told him to in that training seminar last week.

Alright everyone, time to pick your cell assignments! Put a number between 1 and 10 at the start of your post to choose a cell number. If you end up alone, I'll throw you an NPC roommate. Cells contain a bunkbed, a sink, a toilet, and whatever furnishings our character has managed to scavenge. Inmates are dressed in standard-issue jumpsuits, though if your character chose to modify theirs in some way (removed sleeves etc.) that's something the guards overlook because they don't have the time or energy to police that sort of thing. What does your character do on an average day?
