Chapter 49: Management (3)
Management (3)
Two detention centers are located in an underground city. One is very large, while the other is small. They are positioned so closely that they could see each other's eye movements.
The large center, where the prisoners reside, has tall fences surrounding it and is under strict surveillance. The smaller center, where the guards live, has fences that are more like walls, and the only surveillance consists of cameras—no sentry guns or drones.
The rulers of the city clearly treated the two groups differently, and naturally, the group that received harsher treatment harbored resentment. However, they were in no position to directly confront those who discriminated against them. There were more than a few prisoners who had been beaten to a pulp to set an example after their arrival.
The fierce security robots did their job well. If you only ended up with bruises from a baton, you were considered lucky. Sometimes, prisoners were struck with riot shields like medieval knights, sent flying through the air. Though the wide shield surface spread out the impact, so nothing was broken, the force was so tremendous that breathing was difficult for several seconds.
Prisoners who directly touched the guards were mercilessly hit with shotguns. They were punished differently according to the severity of their crimes, with the first stage being hard labor. Dirty and difficult tasks, such as assisting with meals and cleaning toilets, were typical. If their crimes were worse, food restrictions were added.
Indeed, the rulers here had a cruel method of control through starvation. Bread without yeast, water, and vitamins. Even the toughest women would quickly become submissive after continuously eating the special solitary confinement meal.
Those who caused further trouble were dragged into solitary confinement. Some women were first sent to the clinic, but once their treatment was finished, they would inevitably be sent to solitary. Given the circumstances, it was clear who their resentment was aimed at.
“You filthy bitches!”
