Chapter 49: Imprisonment
Zhou Zhen hugged the quilt and observed the situation in the prison cell, eight high and low beds, a long table, and a monitor, which made up the whole of this prison cell.
No, there is also a toilet half-separated inside, with two squatting pits, a toilet, and four shower pipes.
Most of the people were sitting at the long table, playing a deck of cards and a game of chess.
Zhou Zhen's bed was arranged on the top bunk next to a window, which originally belonged to a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, and he reluctantly put away his quilt at this time.
The location of this prison is very good, just facing the sun, and it can be said to enjoy the sun in such a position in winter.
After arranging Zhou Zhen's bed, the two prison guards warned the other prisoners before leaving.
Zhou Zhen made his bed and then stepped down the stairs.
The strong man who had given up his place sat on the bed in the lower bunk and asked, "Why can you come in and be the boss?" ”
There is no ruthless character in this, Zhou Zhen said indifferently: "Because you can be locked up for a year or three years, I can call the shots." ”
He laughed. "You're a judge?"
"I used to be a prosecutor, one of the nine prosecutors in Tallahassee, and the prosecutors in this city, the police, the judges, were all in league with me. Even though I'm in jail now, they're going to give me this face......"
The brawny man got up and left a little gloomy. "They won't give you face forever."
"Yes, I was already in prison at that time, not awaiting trial."
He turned around and asked, "Why can't you get yourself out?" ”
Zhou Zhen's eyes swept around the prison and said, "Because I killed a person in front of three sheriffs, six prosecutors, and a judge." ”
"Kill!" His eyes shrank slightly.
A thin man who looked like an addict shouted, "This is impossible, how can the murderer be here?" ”
Zhou Zhen said coldly: "Because I know almost all the law enforcers. ”
A bearded man playing cards stood up and said, "Boy, don't be too arrogant, I don't care if I'm locked up for three years or a year, a prosecutor's ass is more attractive to me than a few years in prison." ”
Zhou Zhen smiled and said, "You can try." ”
He pushed away the two companions who wanted to hold him and walked towards Zhou Zhen. "I don't like your superior sneer, even though you used to be a prosecutor, but now, you are the same as us. Boy, I'll tell you a truth, go to jail, keep a low profile......"
A warning from the prison guards was heard on the radio. "Donathanville, stop your threatening movements, or I wouldn't mind sending you to a confinement cell to cool down."
"Protected bunny, you won't live under the monitor all the time." He stopped, looked at Zhou Zhen with disdain and said, "Everyone in this can let you know what is worthy of respect." ”
Zhou Zhen saw that he was not a villain with no humanity, but he was a little short-tempered.
At this time, Zhou Zhen was also threatened because his status was threatened.
Zhou Zhen just wants to be powerful, and he will not choose him, a reckless man who only has a body and no brain.
So, he took out his internal prison electronic card, smiled and said, "In addition to power, I think money is worthy of respect." ”
He was stunned and said, "If you can order me a steak for dinner, I will think you deserve respect." ”
Zhou Zhen waved his hand. "One steak for all!"
Inside the prison cell, there was a burst of cheers. "I didn't know what steak was like for more than a month."
There was also a licking dog that shouted directly: "Boss Romez." ”
Someone came directly and invited Zhou Zhen to sit down at the long table. "Romans, do you want to play cards?"
See, that's the power of money. No matter who it is, in the face of people who can bring benefits, they can't be tough.
Therefore, problems that can be solved with money are never big problems.
This is a detention center, Zhou Zhen will not stay here for too long, if he wants to stand up, it's not too late to go to prison.
In the monitoring room, several prison guards drank coffee and discussed Zhou Zhen, who was held by the stars.
"Is this Prosecutor Romans rich?"
"Of course, in Tallahassee, not many people can come up with 800,000 in cash."
"Eight hundred thousand? God, is being a prosecutor so rich? ”
"It's his investment, and if you bought Cisco stock three years ago and then sold it before the crash last year, you can be so rich."
"Maybe ......"
"Shut up!" The leading prison guard looked at the door before saying, "Justice John Milton, who is in charge of the three southeastern states, has been paying attention to this Prosecutor Romes, and he does not even avoid suspicion and supports this Prosecutor Holmes.
Don't say that you and I, even our prison warden, mayor, and governor, must also protect this Romans, and not let him slip up the slightest, understand? ”
Montgomery, the capital of Alabama.
John Milton retracted his mind with satisfaction, looked at Christabella in front of him and said, "I am very satisfied with Kevin's change, a bad environment can 'cultivate' a person more than a promising environment.
Tomorrow, you come with me to Tallahassee. I'm going to have you serve as Kevin's assistant defense attorney, and then I'm going to make sure that Kevin's sentence is less than seven years and that he's released on bail in three years. ”
Christabella asked, somewhat confused, "Are you sure he needs an assistant defense attorney?" ”
"I know he can defend himself, and he doesn't want anyone else to defend him, the so-called defense lawyer is just an ornament. But we need a channel of communication, don't we? ”
"I see."
No matter how clever a doctor is, he can't operate on himself, and no matter how clever a lawyer is, he can't defend himself.
Because the defense lawyer not only has to defend in court, but also needs to liaise and communicate with the police, the victim's side, and select the jury.
These are all things that Zhou Zhen, who is in the detention center, can't do by himself.
However, it is still easy to be a temporary boss in a detention center.
Most criminals awaiting trial will not easily offend a person who has a deep relationship with the public prosecutor and the law, especially when this person is still enjoying the special care of the prison guards.
However, in a detention center, there are always some people who do not care about the sentence and even want to stay in prison.
"You're Kevin Romans?"
"Fike, please stay away from us."
Before Zhou Zhen could speak, his fifteen roommates, led by Donathan, stood up together and glared at the boss in the detention center.
Fick's eyes swept over the steak in front of them, and he said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, I don't want to be in trouble." However, since he was willing to buy sixteen steaks, he obviously wouldn't mind buying more. ”
Unlike prisons, all food costs money, and there is no free food.
Even if there is no money now, the bill will be sent to the prison and the judge by the detention center, and it will be deducted from the income of labor after the trial and the prison sentence.
And these people only enjoy the basic treatment of starvation.
The basic treatment in the Florida State Penitentiary was tortillas and green bean soup, and the dry tortillas didn't taste good.
And the green bean soup has nothing but a little salty and greasy butter, and the taste is extremely unpalatable.
Rich people don't choose this kind of food, even a fifty-cent tortilla is much more delicious.
And steaks that start at two dollars a piece are obviously a luxury, and not many people are willing to eat it all at once.
Of course, a two-dollar steak is actually just beef, black pepper, and lettuce, which doesn't taste very good.
Zhou Zhen put down the hard plastic knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "Of course I mind." I invited my roommate to steak to celebrate my imprisonment today, but since you are not in the same cell as me, why should I invite you? Two dollars a piece, enough money to get one of the strongest thugs to serve me. ”
"I'm the strongest thug in the area."
Zhou Zhen turned around and asked, "Then are you willing to serve me?" ”
He laughed, turned back to his younger brothers and said, "It's really interesting, someone wants to let me serve him for two dollars." ”
The prison guards in the cafeteria came over. "Fike, go back to your place, and don't let me say it a second time."
Fick shrugged. "Romez, I remember you. I hope you can bear not going to the playground all the time......"
Zhou Zhen sighed and said, "I'm full, now I'm going to go to the playground to enjoy a cigarette and then take a walk." Fick: yes? Look, I don't even remember your name, and I wish you a good dinner. ”
Phil glanced at Zhou Zhen coldly, turned around and left.
The prison guard smiled and said, "Mr. Romez, if you encounter anyone threatening you, remember that we are with you. ”
After they left, Donason said with some trepidation, "Kevin, you shouldn't provoke Phil, he's a member of the Boatmen's Gang. ”
The Boatmen are one of three large gangs in Tallahassee, and together with the Lumberjacks, they are two local gangs working together to deal with the growing Mexican gangs.
Zhou Zhen shook his head and smiled, "I don't care. ”
Satan is all around him, how can he be afraid of a little gangster!
After Marianne's death, he discovered his mistake. He was too perfect in the past for John Milton to take advantage of, so John Milton could only kill Marianne.
If he had behaved a little more distant from Marianne at the beginning, although he still couldn't avoid Marianne's tragic fate, at least it wouldn't have been so soon.
Hanging John Milton is the right way.
In the past, he still had concerns and did not dare to hang John Milton, but now that he has the restraints of prison, he has no worries.
Donathan said, "Don't underestimate his strength. ”
Zhou Zhen smiled and asked, "Why do you all think I'm weak?" Did I give you the wrong feeling? ”
