Literal Diva

I watched the inmates move slowly in a single file, dressed in ill-fitted clothes and cheap flip flops, they move in sync. It's been a long day with ten inmates on our list for the day. This is my favourite thing about being a guard, the court trips with inmates, watching the lawyers presenting their case with passion and eloquence.  My father wanted me to be a lawyer but his cancer robbed me of this, the family income was diverted to trying to cure the disease which later claimed his life.  I spent five years working odd jobs for survival before my uncle got me a job in Ikoyi prison, at first I was sceptical about it, being around all sorts of criminals made my skin crawl but the pay was triple the amount I earned as a waitress so I jumped at it. How bad can it be?
