Scene:
A leashed Amir0x on his final served day in prison escorted over to the committee in charge of prisoner discharge.
He walks with a new kind of buoyancy and vitality that had been sapped from him in the past few years of his incarceration. Glad the nightmare is behind him and ready to taste freedom, he enters the staff room.
"Hello Christopher."
"Hi."
"We wanted to talk to you about something."
"Yes, I'm looking forward to heading back home. Tobyhanna Army Depot needs me."
"Christopher...you understand that before we sign off on prisoner release, we need to confirm that the inmate understands the conditions required for monitored release of a sex offender. right?"
"I understand. What did you want to talk to me about?"
Amirox looks at the head nurse sitting at the committee table. She appears to have a sullen look of disappointment on her face.
She puts her hand on his hand, seemingly aware of how futile the gesture is. "You..were doing so well, Christopher. So...well."
"Wait. What's going on?"
"Remember when we previously discussed the issue of the tattoo you received while incarcerated..."
"I told you already, it's goo. It's goo in the shape of an adult man. "
The nurse continues, "Christopher, we're experts here and you have to trust that we know what's best for you. We're here for your health and want to see you succeed in the world."
"Don't do this to me..Not like this.."
"Our sex-crimes expert on staff have gone through a detailed analysis of the proportions of the content of your tattoo..We have suspicions that this is a depiction of a child. You could see how we would have apprehensions about whether you have fulfilled the conditions of release, right?"
"This can't be happening. Who told you about the tattoo? Which one of these rats did it?"
"Help us help you, Christopher. Help us help you."
"Who fucking told you?"
"For the safety of the inmates at Tobyanna Supermax, we cannot divulge that informat..."
"Malik. It was Malik Morgan, wasn't it? The *racial slur* who splashed his piss all over me -- every day, for 2 years. And you all did nothing about it. That fucking *racial slur*"
"Christopher, this isn't about Malik, this is about how we can help you."
"He would say, "Merry Pissmas" each time he did it. It was a neverending holiday for me. He said I was his pretty little piss-boy. You all did fucking nothing."
"Enough. You know damn well that Malik was set up to fail by a plethora of conservative policies that lead him down the wrong path!"
"No! Nope! Nuh-uh. NO WAY. FUCK ALL THAT GAY DEMOCRAT SHIT. Where is he? Where is that motherfucker? I'm going to rip his fucking head off."
"Gloria", the head bailiff urgently motions to the head nurse in the committee room. Get the thorazine needles. We got a live one."
"IT'S GOOIGI. IT'S FUCKING GOOIGI. HE'S AN ADULT MAN IN THE SHAPE OF GOO. LET ME OUT OF HERE. I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T LET ME OUT OF THIS PLACE YOU FUCKING ANIMALS."
*staff scrambles to tackle and contain the now flailing and screaming Tobyhanna Man."
As the pandemonium ensues on the floor, the deputy head of discharge intones to nobody in particular from outside the margins of the chaos:
"Six more months of evaluation before we proceed with a review of your case for discharge. Six more months, Christopher. Take the medicine. It's good for you. We all want you to succeed, Christopher."
He walks out of the room with his head shaking in disgust while Christopher is heard screaming in between breaths forcibly bated by law enforcements' violent restraining efforts.
Scene opens with head deputy walking down jailblock C - stopping at a particular jail cell.
"Mr. Morgan. It's good to see you."
"It appears you have been a model prisoner here at Tobyhanna Supermax. Aside from all that piss, of course"
Both laugh
Malik responds, "I guess that means the prison got its psychiatric unit funding."
"Oh yes, Mr. Malik, it has. It sure has."
"And what about me? Do I see any of that scratch?"
"We have decided to commute the rest of your sentence due to.... good behavior."
"You're one of the good ones, Charlie."
"Thanks Mr Morgan, it means a lot to hear that coming from a person of color."
Merry Pissmas
