Noisy Shoes

I go to jails ….. often ….. it’s part of my job.

In fact …. sometimes ….. I’m at a jail everyday of the week (all seven days of the week) …. and often multiple trips on the same day (more result of poor planning than emergencies …. but ‘mergencies happen too.)

Anyways ….

It’s really cool being an attorney on a professional visit to a jail ….

Why ?? …..

Well …. ’cause we usually to wear these sweet badges that identify use as Attorneys ….

I suppose to make it easier for targeting us in the event of a riot …..

Now all jails are different ….. some are nice ….. some are awful …… some are big ….. some are small ….. most smell really, really bad ….

My home court jail is fairly medium in size, probably the notch below large actually …..

And my home court is in what has generally been an ecomonically prosperous county ….. so we have nice stuff ….. including the jail.

Which means some pretty cool security ….. including some sorta, kinda long walks to from different parts …. you know …. to make it harder for people to ‘scape …..

So …. I was at my home court jail over the weekend ….

And it was late …..

I check in ….

Get my sweet Attorney badge …..

Get buzzed through the door …. get on the elevator …..

And then exit the elevator on my designated floor.

And start the walk ….

It’s a walk I’ve done a lot …..

But it’s late …. and really quiet

And dark out ….

Which darkens the hallway …

And there I am …..

Just me …. walking down the hall ….

This long, narrow, twisting, tiled, echo-y hallway …..

I hear my shoes ……

And I wonder ….

Will I be making walks like this ….

On work visits like this …..

When the noise from my shoes …..

Sounds more like a click of one’s heels?

I’m sooo weird …. lol

Oh ….. and then my next thought was …..

I’ll bet I’d really be popular here if I wasn’t in boy-mode !!

Though on the other hand …..

lol
