Her husband’s cryptic response left her puzzled. How could he be overworked? After all, wasn’t 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,
“You really shouldn’t make my husband work so hard. He looks absolutely exhausted!”
Hearing this, the officer couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Shaking his head in disbelief, he replied,
“Are you kidding me? Your husband doesn’t do anything all day except eat, sleep, and stay in his cell!
He’s one of the least active prisoners we have.”
The officer’s response baffled the woman even further. How could her husband look so worn out if all he did was rest?
Something didn’t add up. That’s 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.
