Her husbandâs cryptic response left her puzzled. How could he be overworked? After all, wasnât life in prison mostly confined to
a cell, with the occasional yard time or a few minor chores? Still,
she decided to bring up her concerns with the correction officer on duty before leaving.
Approaching the officer at the front desk, the woman said with genuine worry in her voice,
âYou really shouldnât make my husband work so hard. He looks absolutely exhausted!â
Hearing this, the officer couldnât help but burst into laughter. Shaking his head in disbelief, he replied,
âAre you kidding me? Your husband doesnât do anything all day except eat, sleep, and stay in his cell!
Heâs one of the least active prisoners we have.â
The officerâs response baffled the woman even further. How could her husband look so worn out if all he did was rest?
Something didnât add up. Thatâs when she remembered a strange comment her husband
had made during their conversation. Curious, she decided to press for more details the next time they spoke.
