The Prison of Pain by IncubusStories
Synopsis: Cocky criminal Christon Mann is found guilty of robbing a bank. He is given two options; A, fifty years in prison. Or B, a reduced sentence of five years in a prison of pain to be brutally tortured.
Chapter One - Sentenced
Christon Mann was in an interrogation room, handcuffed to the table. No one had come in to see him yet and he was left alone. Although he was sure someone was watching him. On one side of the concrete room was a one way mirror in which he saw himself. Flowing blond hair, a muscle vest showing off his rippling abs and a loose pair of jeans.
He was here because he was caught robbing a bank.
Although he had robbed it twelve months ago and had spent the ten thousand dollars he acquired. To begin with he was scared the police would find out who the masked robber was and he would be arrested, but after a year Christon was lulled into a false sense of security. Then one night, a policeman knocked on his door. He was there to arrest him. It wasn't a questioning on the off chance he could've been the robber, they knew it was him.
As soon as Christon realised this he confessed to everything. It was easier than pretending he didn't when the evidence was so incriminating. After a few minutes someone finally came in to speak to him, a man in a tight suit with papers in hand. You know the sort of guy; thin as a pencil and weedy, with square glasses just a little too small. He sat on the chair across from Christon and looked over his papers.
"Christon Mann, guilty of a bank robbery worth over ten thousand dollars." He said.
"Yep." He chuckled cockily.
He wasn't nervous anymore. He'd accepted his fate at this point.
"When am I going to prison?" He asked, surprised it hadn't happened yet.
"Well Mr Mann, as you have confessed to everything and I have no further questions for you I could ship you off there now. Have you heard of a controversial new alternative punishment and incarceration system? It's been on the news a lot."
"I don't follow the news." He answered.
"Well, recently since the NRC have taken over America, they have introduced a new law system. There are now two options for criminals. One option is regular prison, another option is an alternative punishment and incarceration system with a reduced sentence." The man answered.
Christon already wanted to take the second option, but had to know more first.
"In your case for this bank robbery there will be a fifty year sentence with no parole or bail opportunities. The NRC have really upped the ante for sentences." He explained.
Christon had been aware of harsher sentences since America's invasion but he did not expect a sentence that long for one bank robbery. He couldn't spend half a century in prison for a bank robbery, he just couldn't.
"But I'm thirty one, I won't last until eighty one in prison and even if I do I won't have much time left to live my life after that!" He protested.
