1 EDWARD'S INTRODUCTION

The story I'm going to tell you may seem like a legend, but believe me, the facts I'm going to tell you really happened decades ago.

Jason Mitcherwills, the director of the private prison, created by himself, was, according to many, a deviant man. There are many stories about him, about his private life, however, those about his work are sure to be true, evidence and tales of those who worked with him leave no room for doubt.

It entered service on May 17, 1957 at the end of the construction of the huge penitentiary located about 10 miles immediately after the southern exit of the city. The construction was immense, mouse-gray, which gave the impression of being lifeless, dead, or at least a place where, even before entering, it was already known that once you left something would change.

Many are the people who, even if only briefly, have worked alongside him in the penitentiary.

The stories are many, but few are enough to make it clear what kind of person the director was.

The man had now settled in the prison, slept, ate and spent your free time inside it. He never went out, relying on couriers for basic necessities. All those who worked inside it decided to withdraw shortly afterwards because the treatments reserved for prisoners were too much even for murderers, rapists, terrorists and any other sort of criminal you can imagine.However, some of the latest guards said that in the last period they were kicked out by the director, because he was unable to bear the workload and was unable to deal with the punishment he had decided for the criminals.

Many of these guards, after leaving, claimed to not be able to sleep, or to relate more to the people around them, many of them, defined as crazy by society, still reside in psychiatric hospitals, under the care of the best psychologists in the county because now unable even to speak.

Who perhaps stronger than mind, once exited spoke, but no one ever worried about the cruelties that resided in that gray structure: who for fear, who because he thought the criminals deserved those cruelties or who because he simply did not give much credit to those words.

However, I believed it and I had the courage to listen to those raw and many times afraid words of those who worked within those gray walls that left nothing but sinister sensations to the sight.
