You're assuming 'they' are the villains in this story, and not simply convincing confederates. Anyway, reality seems rather...fluid on this plane.
But you couldn't stay? Why not?
Yes. Though 'all' suggests wardens didn't have a choice either?
Well, no. Nor can I. I was only curious about whether any of us could swap one cell for another - but you've made your point.
'Only' three years? I was under the impression that was quite a while. By local standards, at least.
So I've heard. But I find the perspective of those who didn't volunteer to be here more valuable.
People have an opinion even on the nuts and bolts, and I know whose I prefer to hear.
We've talked a little. He is, as you say, no longer an inmate. It makes it difficult to accept his word at face value.

Isn't like inmates ever get a choice.
Kinda the point.

Wardens can leave here.
I can't.
Unless I stay dead.

I've only been here 3 years, so maybe that shit happens occasionally.
And I just haven't dealt with it.

But there's only been so many floods I've been though.
Iris would have more helpful info.
She's been here around a decade.
