spontaneous combustion
 
the cell block
is unusually quiet
it makes me edgy
something is amiss
just a feeling
an instinct
the other staff
feel it too
awareness is
heightened
watchful eyes
look at everything
ears listen for
unusual chatter
the noon meal
is announced
cell doors open
men in gray
move toward
the exits
a sudden flurry
of movement
three on one assault
alarm sounds
staff swarm in
order is restored quickly
one injured slightly
to protective custody
three to the hole
an assault or
inmate justice
administered

Thank you Zy, The most dangerous time in prison is if you feel yourself becoming comfortable in your job...
 
No, Maria,  There have been many time i was so frightened that my knees were knocking, but you cannot not show fear or they will eat you alive...
 
Thank you for your kind review, Cara
 
Jimmy, my friend, coming from one so accomplished I take that as a high compliment and am humbled by your praise... bear
