Is this a rhetorical question? Is this the first part of a longer story? Is the story the inmate told Kehinde true? So many questions! The fact that he has been left with several questions regarding this story is good, @greenrun. We see as a fortuitous event, develops an unexpected action or outcome! The story within another story always has an effect: the reader feels that he participates in someone's secret or private story. In this case the prisoner. When we see their description of the inmate, we immediately feel a certain solidarity with him. The same as Kehinde felt! It impresses me how prisons can be the same all over the world: a place of overcrowding, where instead of reforming, what they do is harm more. I keep reading to you! Thanks to you and @adsactly for sharing your story
