To punish a young female guard, the prison warden placed her in a cell with the most dangerous inmates for the whole night. When the guards unlocked the door in the morning, they were appalled by what they saw 
A standard cell examination was the first step in the process. Anna, a young guard who had just started her work and was still far too honest for a place like this, heard a faint thud as she was moving down the hallway. She paused, paid attention, and couldn’t help but peer through the slightly ajar door.
Inside, a savage and nasty senior guard was using his baton to pin a prisoner to the ground. The man was hardly conscious.
He snarled, “Make one more sound and I’ll show you what discipline is.”
The guard raised the baton once more as the prisoner fell to the ground. Anna yelled:
“Stop! You’re going to murder him!
The guard pivoted.
“Girl, who do you think you are? You have no business dealing with this.
However, it was too late. Anna had witnessed it all. She also made the decision to speak up.
The following day, Anna submitted a report. The guard forfeited a portion of his pay and was demoted. The story then made its way to the prison warden.
He called her without a formality to his office. He didn’t even glance at her when he sat at his desk.
“You want to be the hero, then?” He spoke in a cold tone.
Anna answered, “I just told the truth,” despite her internal trembling.
He raised his head and asked, “The truth?” Which side do you support? The side of those beasts, or ours?
She firmly yet calmly stated, “They’re human beings too.” “No one has the right to beat them arbitrarily.”
He struck the table with his fist.
“Your tongue is far too bold, I see! Too daring! Additionally, given your strong desire to protect the prisoners… You’ll stay the night with them,” he said, getting up and approaching her. in the most hazardous cell. You’ll quickly figure out who is who.
“What?” Anna’s face went white.
Do you desire justice? Alright. Protector, good night. We’ll see if you’re still so courageous in the morning.
No one was ever thrown in cell number 12 without a good reason, and even the guards exchanged uncomfortable glances as they put her there. The door shut with a slam.
Strange noises emanated from the cell during the night, but nobody dared to approach. And the guards froze in disbelief when they opened the door in the morning
The three most dangerous convicts in the prison were by themselves with Anna. The air was filled only with their labored breaths.
The strongest of them, with a scar on half of his face, got up and walked over. Anna anticipated a blow. But he only inquired:
Did he throw you in here? Why?
Anna filled them in on everything. How she stood up for the battered prisoner. Her report writing process. How she was disciplined. The man gave a sour grin.
“You’re not lying, then. We are aware of that situation. He nearly murdered our sibling.
They brought her a chair rather than frightening her. Water was given to her. began to speak. They talked, laughed, and reflected on their pre-prison lives and families throughout the entire night.
For the first time, Anna saw them as individuals who had never been granted a second opportunity rather than as criminals.
She dozed off on one of the beds around dawn while wrapped in one of their blankets. When the guards opened the door in the morning, one of them went pale and the other took a step back.
The most aggressive prisoner, who fought everyone, slept on the floor after giving up his bed to the guard.
Anna also slept soundly in it.
The biggest prisoner turned to face the startled guard and uttered:
“Kid, if you had been in her shoes…” “You wouldn’t have survived until morning,” he said, leaning forward a little.
