Induction Time By Crossmanx at - crossmanx@hotmail.co.uk - comments and ideas welcome. Prison life is hard, but first you have to go through your Induction! Induction Time JD looked out of the small window in the back of the prison van, the glass was thick, scratched and quite misty so he couldn't get a clear view, but he could see well enough, for now. The prison transfer van was on its way, with JD, to the prison on Hope Island, it had stopped at the start of the causeway to the island just as the big red sign had said. The vehicle had stopped and the driver had used the phone in the box to call ahead for clearance to cross the causeway. JD, his real name was Julian Desmond but JD seemed to suit him better after all he was a criminal! To JD this was just another prison transfer, and unsurprisingly he did seem to get moved around quite a bit. He would get into one prison, settle down, get bored, have an argument and beat up a few inmates along with a couple of guards. Then the next thing he knew he was being shipped off to another prison! He could see the driver still on the phone waiting for clearance and the sign that read 'Welcome to Hope Island Correctional Prison and Detention Centre.' Some joker had also scrawled underneath 'Last Hope Island' and 'Devils Island Prison.' He laughed to himself, JD was a tough man and there wasn't a prison going that could break him, let alone 'Devils Island Prison.' But this was his first time here and that made it a bit more interesting for the man, he knew all the other prisons and detentions centres around the country he'd been in them all, at least twice, but never this one! He'd heard the rumours about this place, everyone had, that this was a 'special' place, this was where all the prisoners that the system couldn't control went, all the bad eggs in one basket so to speak. But there was another rumour about this one place, one he'd hear but not everyone else had, that there were women at this prison. Not female inmates, that would just be too good to hope for, no, not that. He'd heard that there where female guards here! The toughest prison for the roughest of prisoners and with female guards, that surly wasn't right! JD grinned to himself about that rumour as the driver got back into the cab, and the van started up again and drove up the causeway, ready to deliver JD to his new 'home!' The drive alone the causeway didn't take long and soon the driver and escort of the van had handed over JD to his new 'owners' and they were on their way off the island. That just left JD himself here in his new 'home', in the reception area where he was being booked in and all the paperwork was being checked. Prisoner 589127P had little to do but stare out of the window, he was getting used to doing that. He was looking out of the old building onto a large courtyard area, the surrounding buildings, like the one he was in, all looked like they were something out of the Victorian era. And, although he was no historian, JD reckoned this had been one of those old Napoleonic forts, the defence's that where built to stop any invasion from the other side of the water. The place had that sort of dank, dark, look, feel and smell to it, but it was going to be home for a while so he had probably better get used to it. It was now that JD spotted something else, or should that be someone! Out in the courtyard walking from a parked car to one of the old large, heavy wooden doors was a woman. Not just any woman, not a civilian worker, secretary, cook or cleaner, or anything like that. She was a guard, in uniform and all that, a female prison guard! No wait there was another, and another 'where those rumours true?' well it certainly looked like it. He could see at least three women, three female prison guards, in uniform, a blond, brunette and a redhead, 'a full set!' This place was certainly looking up, but at that moment he was called over to the counter to be issued with his bedding and new uniform by an old looking storeman, who had probably been here since it was first built. But before he went over to the counter he got one last, and good look at the three women that now together walked across the courtyard. The tall brunette with her ponytail, the blond in the middle of the group, and the shorter redhead at the far end of the line of three women. Just as JD moved away from the window the redhead's gaze was drawn towards the window of the reception centre, the room where all new prisoners were booked in, issued clothing and bedding then taken to the holding area. Something had caught her attention, but she wasn't sure what, as there was now nothing there at the window. But the woman's 'interest' had been raised, 'was there a newcomer?' JD was moved into the holding area from the reception area, everything was done, all the forms had been completed correctly, in triplicate, everything he needed had been issued to him. All he needed now was his room, his cell, and his pleasant stay here at Hope Island could begin. In the holding area, he was told by an average looking male guard that his induction would take place here. JD looked around it wasn't much of a room, large but not much inside it and with the high ceilings to give it that cold, empty feeling. But he knew what prisons where like, trying to give the tough first impression and hope new prisoners accept it, but not him. The single table pushed up against the wall and just the one chair where the guard had been sat when he walked in, where all the normal signs of putting the new prisoner in his place. Another 'ploy' to mess with the prisoner's mind was these boiler suits, the one he'd had to change into, the pink boiler suits! Unusually, he'd never had this before and the colour, some phyco Doc's idea of making the prisoner more compliant he suspected. He put his neatly folded pile of bedding down on one of the benches in the room. There were 3 lines of old fashion benches, balance beams, for the new prisoners to sit on, a good idea he thought, low to the ground, so everyone else was taller and looked down on you. They were like the benches used in schools and would make the newbie feel like a naught schoolboy, he grinned at that. The guard pushed his chair back and got up, there was that screeching sound as the chair scrapped along the wooden floor, another trick to intimidate. The guard stood there and looked at the paperwork on his clipboard as he checked everything, he tutted and shock his head "you're quite the bad arse, aren't you? Pink coveralls, so your down to go to F wing, you won't like that." JD had been in the system too long for some fuckwit like this guard try and play with his head. The prisoner was much taller, broader and stronger, he grinned at the guard and holding his hands together in front of him he gave a lurching movement forward. It was enough to give the guard a fright and make him jump back out of the way. JD gently raised his two hands that where still together upwards to show that he was not 'really' going for the guard and grinned again. The guard could see the prisoner's gold tooth almost smiling at him and got the message, 'don't make fun or I'll have you!' This guard might not be able to handle this prison in a one on one situation, but he knew someone who could! The guard carried on "F wing is our specialist wing, for those prisoner in the system that need to be supervised closely, it ... ... " JD took a small but intimidation step forward closer to the guard "what does the F stand for 'Fucked up' wing?" The guard had had enough and dropped his clipboard to his side, then flung it over onto the desk and walked off "your induction officer will be here shortly ... ... good luck!" JD at first laughed at way he'd unsettled the guard, then stopped, there was something in his tone and the way he'd said that 'good luck.' As if he knew something that JD didn't, it was strange! But just to add some more confusion in, the guard stopped at the large wooden door and before he left he turned and said "The F, that stands for female, Female Wing as in all the guards there are women, all the prisoners are men but the guards are women, that why we call it F Wing!" The guard left and JD was even more confused, 'female guards?' So, where those rumours he'd hear actually true, 'can't be, surly they wouldn't ... ... ' Just then the door handle on the large wooden door turned, there was a seconds pause and then it was pushed open and in walked ... ... Ruby Redman was a small, even petite, woman, who looked nothing like what a guard should. But she was very noticeable in other ways, with her quite obvious stunning red hair. She'd heard all the jokes, the gags, quips, snide comments and downright insults about being a redhead, a ginger. The comments that she never took kindly to, and of course, all those jibes about her name and being a redhead, she'd heard it all. She'd listened to it time and time again for the arrogant and the ignorant. But instead of ignoring all those remakes, and going back a long time, she'd started to react to those 'remarks.' Over the years this woman had learnt, very quickly, the hard way of how to get through life. But more importantly she learnt to come out the other side being the one who was smiling! All of this mickey taking had hardened the woman and 'developed' her brash arrogance and her hot temper. Which had led her to many bad encounters with authority and it had also given her a bit of an attitude to those people who liked to make fun of others. The ones who though it was OK to belittle those around them. It made her despise the bully and everything he stood for, but even so, revenge for the way she'd been treated as a child was never on her mind, but it was also never far from her thoughts. When she'd been growing up Ruby had been both a confused and focused girl and now she had grown up into a woman who, maybe, had one or two issues, but who almost never allowed them to cloud her judgement, almost never! She was a woman who'd been on the receiving end of some cruel jokes and treatment, but who had now learnt to give as good as she had got, with a little extra added. So, working in a prison with a whole load of bad men was quite the ideal job for such a woman like her! Ruby took a couple of steps into the holding area room and looked at the man who was about to receive his induction from her. JD was a tall, broad and rough a hard looking man, quite cute in fact. He'd been in and out of prison for most of his adult life and knew his way around the system better than most inmates. He was in his late 30's just, on the cusp of reaching the big '4' 'O'. He was bald with one of those silly goatee beards, but she could forgive him that, there were a few grey hairs to give him that more distinguished look, an interesting appeal. Even in the boiler suit, the pink suit, his strong body could be made out, thick legs, well developed chest and shoulders, large arms and a thick neck. He was a real man, a strong man, and he knew it, the arrogance seemed flow from every inch of him, he was something alright. As Ruby took all this in, she instantly decided, 'cute, but I don't like him', JD returned the stare and examined her. Ruby was not what he was expecting and for once the man was taken aback by this, by her. He was sure she had been the one he'd caught a brief glimpse of earlier walking across the courtyard, with the blond and the brunette, 'Yes, it was her!' She was a small woman, both in height and build, that's what it looked like to start with, Ruby was tiny, short and a redhead, JD instantly thought of a few jokes straight away. The look on his face as he now took in the rest of the woman told Ruby exactly what he was thinking, and already she was beginning to get annoyed with this one, more and more. Ruby was dressed in her uniform which at best was a little ill fitting, JD wasn't sure if prison uniforms went that small or had 'she' shrunk in the wash. Whichever, it wasn't a good fitting uniform, well her boots where probably the right size, but they were small, then there were her trousers. They looked as if they had been turned up and where baggy all over, her waist was quite tiny and her belt had a few extra holes punched into it, so that eventually it would fit around her. Attached to her belt was a long chain that dropped down to her knees, then came back up again and disappeared into her pocket, holding all those lovely keys, nice and safe. Up further was a white shirt, again it looked a size too large for her, but somehow that looked good on her, she had a couple of buttons undone, but this wasn't enough for him to get a look at any cleavage. Which was disappointing, as even though her uniform was obviously one size too big for her, he 'knew' that under it she had a good, trim body, he just knew that! She had her sleeves rolled up, but one sleeve was higher than the other and this added to her unkempt look, but it was a look he kind of liked. For a prison guard, she was one of the scruffiest and untidiest he'd seen, but she was a woman and that made her the best looking prison guard he'd ever seen. Now his attention was focused on her face, her cute looking face. She was young, but still a woman, maybe early to mid 20's he thought. Her bright red hair was a mess, it was all over the place, all different lengths of hair pushing out and hanging down. Everything was out of place, even though supposedly it had been tied up, properly, but you would not have known that by looking at her. She had a pair of bright eyes that stared at him then there was her quite nice button nose and the freckles that covered it, her lips where thin and tight together or was that just because she had a look of concentration on her face. But there she now stood, looking at him, or was that staring at him? 'Was she the one who was going to conduct his induction here?' JD grinned, the male guard earlier had been easily unsettled by him, but her, as for this female guard, he'll scare her easily, no problem, then he could have some fun! But then his grin became a smirk as his imagination started to work overtime, as he thought about 'what fun' he could have with her? He imagined 'taking hold of her, ripping that uniform off of her and then gabbing the small woman, his hands around her tiny waist as he bounced her up and down on his ... ... ' She moved towards the table and picked up the clipboard that had been left there by the previous guard. Then strolled over, closer to the prison as she read through the paperwork. As she got close to him, his scruffy female guard, he got a waft of perfume! For a second he could feel his heart beating that bit faster, it had been a long time since he'd smelt anything so ... ... It was sweet, pure, memorising. He felt his eyes start to close as he now took in another, but more deliberate, deep breath, and as his nostrils filed with the scent of ... ... WHACK! OOOWWWW! JD was caught completely off guard, by the female guard, as she made her presence felt, properly now! She'd taken hold of that clipboard and seeing her prisoner, 'enjoy himself' the guard had brought the board up and down hard across the side of his head. The strike, as sudden and as hard as it was, had caught the man by surprise, he'd never been hit by a guard, well never first anyway, and to be struck by a woman, a female guard! Well that was unheard of, he quickly shook his head and felt a rage start to build up, he was going to ... ... WHACK! OOOUUUHHH! The man, the prisoner, was struck again, this time harder by the clipboard, but in the same place, across the side of his face. This second blow knocked his head over to the side and gave his head a throbbing, even painful, feeling, something that JD was not use to, at all. As he tried to make sense of this, of being hit, first, and by a guard and how he was going to make the service and her pay dearly for this as he felt something knock against him. The clipboard that had struck him twice was now broke, smashed, bent, useless. Ruby flung the cracked board at the one who had broken it, which simply bounced off of his chest. But for breaking her board this man needed to be taught a thing or two! As the confused JD shook his head, guard Ruby stepped in close, grabbed the man, turned and WOOOSSSHHH! THUD! A second ago JD had been still shaking his head when he felt something insignificant knock against him, then the next thing was something grabbing hold of his arm and OOOOOWWWW! It felt as if his whole body had been lifted up off of the ground and he'd been turned over, 'flung!'. Gone through the air, sent flying, a man his size and build, had been manhandled and 'Thrown!' But the only person in the room was the woman guard, so how'd it happen, it couldn't have been her, 'no way! Could it?' Those few seconds had been a blur and the force with how he'd been easily turned over and put on his arse had shocked the man. As JD sat there on the floor not quite knowing what had happened, after being put there on his arse, CRUNCH! UUUHHHHH! There was a sharp blow to the back of his neck, Ruby's small boot, her well-aimed shoot, had brought the prisoners thoughts back to what was going on, his 'induction!' "You need to understand just two things ... ... " Ruby started the prisoner's induction. " ... ... follow the rules and do everything your told" WHACK! OOOHHH! THUD! A sweeping boot had taken away the arm that JD was leaning on, making the stunned prison collapse and fall down to the floor on his side, a smirk from the female guard meant this was amusing to her. BANG! JD was not impressed at all, he slammed his open hand into the floor and the sound it made echoed around the room. Then in a flash he pushed himself upwards and was back on his feet, growling and spitting like a venomous snake as he flexed, grew tall and was about to rip this woman into tiny pieces. But Ruby wasn't phased by this, she looked at the man, a hard stare, moved her feet apart and took up a boxing stance, 'What?' JD was surprised, dumbfounded, 'did this 'woman' think she could box him!' Not only was he going to rip her into little pieces and then sue the prison for her 'unprovoked' attack on him, that would be a first, but he'd enjoy this all at the same time. Ruby shuffled a couple of steps closer to her prisoner, JD's shoulders dropped in disbelief, he shook his head, 'this woman still thinks she can ... ... ' SMACK! OOOHHH! WHACK! UUUHHH! He'd seriously underestimated the woman's determination to upset him even more! She'd let loose with her clenched fist, two good hits landed in the man's face. Two punches square on, as she'd lurched forward just at the right moment and again caught him completely out. The first punch had landed right on his nose and mouth, knocking his head backwards so her second incoming fist smacked him on his chin as it came up. The double blow made the prisoner stagger backwards a few steps before he'd managed to regain his balance. Now JD was even angrier, even madder, and now he was going to ... ... Now the female guard rushed at the man, her leg came up ready to drive hard into her prisoner ... ... who caught the boot heading his way and held it there! Ruby was stood on just one leg bouncing up and down on it while a grinning JD had hold of her other boots. He had her, and boy was he going to make this little bitch suffer now, as he ... ... WHACK! OOOWWWHHH! But it was the prison guard that made the move, not the prisoner, it was Ruby that had struck the blow and not JD, it was the woman, not the man that had hit out. She'd bounded on her one leg, but then jumped up, swung her whole body around in mid-air and brought her free, tiny, boot around and slammed it so hard into the man's head as he stood there holding onto her other boot! The blow made the tall, strong man tumble backwards, he released his hold on the woman's boot and she dropped back down to the floor safely, now back on both feet. As JD went spinning around and back Ruby took hold again, she lurched forward, grabbed her falling prisoner and swung the off balanced man around. Swinging him around as if it were a child making their teddy bear flying it around. As the man came around, she steered him towards the table against the wall and, SMASH! ARRRGGGHHH! He went around, was spun and then let go of, was chucked into the table, JD was slammed hard, fast and without ceremony, face first into the old wooden table. The table cracked as JD's face was pounded into the table, his face, head hurt like mad, it was bloody and he now had no idea what was going on. The rest of the man's body fell against the table which was barely holding itself up, but he hoped that it would keep him up, somehow! Then two firm hands grabbed onto the back of the prisoner's boiler suit and yanked him up and away from the table. He was flung backwards, he staggered, stumbled and almost fell down to the floor. But before he could fall CRACK! OOOOOHHH! JD was struck by the old wooden chair that had been by the, now broken, table. The woman had grabbed the chair, swung it around and slammed it into the falling prisoner, again the room filled with the sound of an injured man and something breaking! JD's 'induction' into F wing had been a short but hard session, his instructions given by a small, and tougher than him, woman. As the, seriously, hurt man dropped to his knee, his mushed-up head told him, 'stay down, stay down.' Never before had that thought entered his head, but he'd never met one of F wing's female guards before either, also he prayed his induction was over, but somehow, he wasn't sure about that! With a stunned, hurt and messed up JD on his knees he tried to get his pounding, throbbing head clear. His head was burning, his body was in agony, his eyes couldn't focus properly and all he could hear was CLANK! CLANK! A clinking sound as if there was a set of keys rattling nearby, then WOOOSSSHHH! The woman's key chain was thrown around his neck from behind him, it was grasped tightly by Ruby's hands and yanked backwards against the man throat UUUUUHHHH! The woman again showed her unsurprising strength as she pulled the chain back and at the same time thrust her knee up into the back on his neck so she could hold him there, and choke him. "Right, I think I need to go through the rules you need to obey now. Ruel 1, Prisoners will, at all times, do as they are told by the prison guards ... ... " She pulled back a bit more on the chain UUUHHHHH! " ... ... Rule 2, You will at all times ... ... " What followed was a 'full' prisoner induction to 'all' the rules! By Rule 7 she had nearly straggled him so let go and started to kick him around the room. By Rule 13 he was begging her to stop, so she laid him, dropped him down, onto one of the long benches. Placing one knee on his chest, to hold him down, the small woman now towered over him, and pummelled him with her fists, all the way up to Rule 21. But there were still more rules for him to learn and by the time, she reached Rule 40, JD was barely conscious and lying on the floor a broken man. As the induction was finishing the door to the room opened and in walked the brunette and blond female guards that JD had seen earlier, but just right now he was not in any real state to notice this. With a battered JD on the floor the redhead female guard tidied her hair up, a bit, and then retrieved the paperwork from the broken clipboard. She signed it to confirm that the prisoner's induction had been carried out, 'fully' and told the other two female guards "you can take this one away to his cell now." The blond and brunette grabbed onto an arm each, half hauled the crushed JD upwards and dragged him off to his cell. The sound of his feet being dragged along the floor was the only sound that filled the corridors that lead to his cells. This was a sound that was 'familiar' to all the current inmates of F wing and a sound that made every hard criminal there shudder. When they reached, JD's cell the blond and brunet guard pulled the man up onto his, wobbly legs and unsure feet, they held him there in front of and with his back to the open door of his cell. A moment later there was the sound of footsteps, from tiny boots as now guard Ruby arrived, to 'personally' escort the prisoner into his cell. JD's weary eyes managed to open slightly just in time to see the redhead arrive and stop in front of him. Then suddenly she turned, swished around and brought her leg up and in one quick turn she'd ... ... THUD! OOUUUHHHH! A roundhouse kick that drove her boot into the centre of JD's chest and sent the man catapulting backwards and into his cell, 'there all done, for today!' Ruby looked into the cell and the heap on the floor that was JD, "remember if you break the rules you get punished, then you have to go through induction, again!" With that the door was closed and, finally, the man was able to rest. CLANK! CLANK! JD was woken suddenly by a loud sound of keys, a sound that brought on a cold sweat. He must have been lying on his cell floor, asleep, for ages as it was all dark now, lights out time, Rule 9, he remembered! The door to his cell opened and he mustered up enough strength to scurry across the floor to the far wall. The light from outside in the corridor rushed in and it took a second or two for JD to get used to it, but then it went suddenly dark again. No, the lights hadn't been turned off, instead someone, someone big was stood in the doorway, blocking the light off! But the man's eyes quickly adjusted and as they did JD pushed himself further back against the wall as he was gripped with, fear! There in the doorway was stood a tall, broad black female prison guard, she looked strong and just like the redhead earlier her uniform was the wrong size. But unlike Ruby where it was one size too big, on this woman it was one size too small. She was a big, strong, forceful woman, that was very plain to see! She spoke, her voice was harsh, commanding and very scary "I run the night shift here, let me take you through your night time induction ... ... " The woman stepped into JD's cell, there was a moment silence then a shriek filled the normally quiet F wing as the new arrival was given his next induction ... ... !
