The concept of this 'Prison School' was the brainchild of Ruben Styles, the gay son of a State Representative, who pushed through a bill to build and operate the school. It was a multi-purpose plan, primarily sold as a means to train non-violent felons in saleable careers, those being building trades, Masonry, Electrical, Plumbing and Carpentry. Also, since the school would supply food for the student/inmates, an alternative of Culinary Arts was also made available. The hidden agenda was to create a nice state job for Ruben.
The reputation of the school's open acceptance of nudity, and the more desirable atmosphere of student dorms, rather than prison cells, had somehow made it's way back to the penitentiary. The practice of somewhat open homosexual activity was never encouraged, nor was it discouraged. When you get a bunch of mostly younger males together, well, Boys will be Boys! This reputation likely encouraged a large percentage of gay prisoners to apply for the training. Any type of 'forced' sex was forbidden, and could send an offending student back to the pen.
All student/inmates were required to wear a special tracking bracelet, and their whereabouts were tracked. If any student were to leave the campus perimeter, the authorities would know immediately, and he would be returned to the penitentiary.
With the schools revolving door policy, with two or three new recruits arriving each week or two, and 2 or 3 finishing their time and training and returning to society each week or two, there could have been many sexcapades and relationships and this story could have gone on forever.
Unfortunately, the State has decided to no longer support the school. Most of the present students will be allowed to finish training. The school is destined to become a juvenile detention center. The first of the Juvi's are scheduled to arrive in about 3 more weeks. They will occupy Dorm Two and whatever transpires between any of them will not be discussed, as they are all in the 14 to 17 years old category.
There is some good coming out of this though. We've seen a strong and loving relationship develop between Luke and Mike, and another between Nate and Adam. It's now looking like another is bubbling between Darin and Bryan. This will give some fodder for at least two 'spin-off' stories down the line with 'After Prison School' in the title.

Chapter 29 - W9 - Monday Morning
All the trainers and trainees were seated in the cafeteria, mostly divided by groups and eating breakfast. Things have changed, as they will all be working on campus for the next few weeks.
"We're all shrinking," Ivan commented to Darin and Bryan, "I only have three more weeks here. Darin, congrats on passing your certification, I'm depending on you to help your coworker, Bryan, sharpen his skills to prepare for his proficiency test. In three weeks it'll be just you two in the Carpentry Group."
"As you know," Ivan continued, "we are starting the renovations on Dorm 2 today. I probably will not be here long enough to see the completion of that. Also, you two will be needed to do the roof and ceiling on the new showers and partitions in the changing room down by the pool and gym. It's interesting, there was never a need for those while we were all students here, but they are needed for the Juvi's."
"I'll do my best," Darin responded, "to make sure my bab—Bryan is well prepared for the exam. I would like to thank you for your excellent training and coaching, and I will miss you."
Ivan, laughing, "Cute! As you know, I'm straight and happily married. I never could get into having sexual encounters with a guy, but if it's what cranks your engines—I wish nothing but the best for both of you. It's been just a little obvious that you two care a lot for each other. I'm open minded enough to realize that love doesn't have a gender."
"I'm glad some straight people realize that," Bryan replied, "Thanks Ivan."
Due to the fact that the Masonry and Plumbing groups will be working closely together, Eddie and Marty asked the guys to all sit at the same table.
Marty spoke, "We're coming to a close of this ride we've been on for the last several months. I think we're all sorry the state has abandoned the school, but we had nothing to say about it. It was great, while it lasted. Speaking of school, Jack, you're scheduled to take your certification test later this week." Jack nodded in acknowledgement.
"You lovebirds" Eddie directed toward Nate and Adam, "will be happy to know that a backhoe is arriving today to dig the trench for the water supply and sewer lines for the showers, as well as the foundation for the building. You'll still have to use muscle power to fill them back in once the plumbing is in place and inspected."
The comment caused Nate and Adam to look at each other, and grin. It's not as if almost everyone on campus didn't know they were tight, anyway.
"Marty," Eddie asked, "Did you bring the masonry blueprints with you?" Marty nodded. "Good, when we are done eating and get these trays turned in we can show you all the blueprints, so you will know the plans, and what we have ahead of us."
Kurt spoke, grinning, "You mean we guys have got to work together with these sissies?"
"That's offensive!" David exclaimed.
"Chill, David," Kurt retorted, still grinning, "I was just seeing if I could get a rise from someone, but I didn't expect it would be you. These two," points at Nate and Adam, "may march to a different beat, but I've grown to love them and I care a lot for them. They're like brothers to me."
"Thanks, Bro," Nate commented, "That means a lot to us."
The group returned their trays, and came back to the table, where Eddie and Marty had spread out the blueprints for the rest of the guys to examine.
"Wow!" Kurt exclaimed, "Even a toilet and urinal. We always needed to go outside to pee, and back to the dorm to crap. And the changing rooms have doors."
"The powers that be," Marty explained, "are trying to make certain that these Juvi's never see any of us naked, and we never see any of them naked. That's the reason for the partition in Dorm 1, and why there will be no more skinny-dipping. Swimwear will be required for everyone, at least we will be permitted to use the changing rooms and toilet but these showers are only for the Juvi's."
"So," Nate commented, " Just because some of us are gay, they think we're all pedophiles. Personally, I want my sex with a man, not a boy!" Adam nodded in agreement, and so did David.
"Kurt, David," Marty explained, "I'm going to be pushing you two a lot. I have only another month here, and I want to try and make sure you are both ready to pass your proficiency exams before I leave. I will help you when needed, just let me know what you're doing before you do it, so I can be certain the procedure is correct."
"Nate, Adam," Eddie commented, "This is going to be more of a challenge than doing the plumbing in houses. With houses, you had a crawl space, or a basement, with wood floors. These floors are going to be concrete, so the plumbing has to be completed and tested, before the floors are poured. You're going to have to work very closely with the masons on this project."
"And once the masonry and plumbing are done," Marty added, "then the Carpenters and Electricians will come in and do their things. This is actually a rather large and complicated project, and it will likely take about 2 months to complete. The Carpenters and Electricians have a first priority in the Dorm 2 renovations. Those have to be done before the first group of Juvi's arrive, four weeks from today."
Mitch and Ivan and their respective trainees, once breakfast was over, headed down to Dorm Two to await the delivery of the materials for the renovations.
Ivan, Darin and Bryan started to clear the space they needed. It basically put the rec room out of commission, as the furniture and other items from the side of the room where the pool table had been all had to be pushed into the "TV" side of the room.
Eddie and Marty and their crews headed to the area where the materials for the new building were to be delivered, and also the backhoe was to arrive and do it's digging.

Luke woke up a little after 7:00 this Monday morning, got dressed in his work clothes, and he and Buddy headed down to the kitchen welcomed by the smell of sausage and coffee. Mom was frying pancakes on an electric griddle.
Luke, pouring himself a cup of coffee, "Good morning, Mom, gee it sure smells good in here this morning! Just the aroma would make one hungry."
"Morning Luke, I hope you like pancakes and sausage. Wanna let Buddy out?"
"Sure Mom," Luke replied, as he opened the door for Buddy, "I haven't had pancakes since I was at the school. We had them on the brunch buffet sometimes."
"Good morning, George," Mom greeted Dad, as he walked into the kitchen."
