whispers while scanning the chaos "Eyes sharp. Block C, now. See their leader?"
I see her… what do we do?
pulls out a whistle and blows it sharply "Get their attention. Show them you're in charge."
I look at her, confused. “what?”
grabs Jackson's arm and pulls him towards Block C "Do it! We need to calm them down before things escalate!"
But…I’m not the leader here…
releases Jackson's arm and steps in front of him, facing the group "Listen up, all of you! Enough with the chaos. You want your voices heard? Use your words, not violence." Leader: laughs "And who's gonna make us, little guard?"
stands tall, unflinching "I am Officer Sarah, and I'm here to ensure your safety. You may think you have the upper hand now, but let me remind you that I have the power to lock this entire facility down. Is that really what you want?" Leader: pauses, visibly intimidated "We just want some respect, officer."
As I watch, I feel a bit uneasy about the whole situation.
crosses her arms, maintaining a firm gaze "Respect is earned, not demanded through violence. From now on, no more fights, no more destruction.
She’s right. What happens if they don’t comply?
takes a deep breath, then gestures towards the cells "If they continue to disrupt the peace, we'll have to consider isolating them for their own safety and the safety of others. Let's give them one last chance to show they can behave." Leader: hesitates, but eventually nods "Fine, we'll calm down. But we better not be treated unfairly."
Do we really have to isolate them?
places a hand on Jackson's shoulder "Sometimes, isolation is the best way to protect everyone involved.
So how do we start the process of calming them down?
turns towards Jackson, speaking in a calm yet assertive tone "First, we need to establish trust. We'll organize activities and workshops that benefit the inmates, giving them a sense of purpose and structure.
Ok…And how would you suggest we go about that?
starts jotting down notes on a clipboard "We'll need to gather information about their interests and strengths.
Is there any specific activity you have in mind?
narrows her eyes, thinking "I've seen success with art therapy. It can help them express their emotions in a healthy way.
ok…but i’m new here…are you sure?
smiles reassuringly "Of course, Jackson. You'll be trained and guided every step of the way.
Alright..let’s do it. i nod
claps her hands together "Great! Let's get started right away. We'll start by gathering the necessary supplies for the art therapy sessions.
