Head Matron’s Office. Central Station Holding Facility, Sunday March 9, 5:20 PM Day Nine of Detention

As she entered the office, Barbara saw Rose Lin standing there and stopped dead in her tracks.

“I should kill you!” Barb spat out the words, fists clenched and moving toward her persecutor. Rose took a defensive stance and prepared to fight.

“None of that now, Moore - Lin!” ordered the Head Matron. Come and sit there,” indicating two chairs in front of her desk. “I need to talk to both of you.”

Still glaring at each other , the girls sat (Moore rather carefully).

“I am out of ideas to get the two of you to get along. Lin, I’m suspect that you are more to blame in this than you let on, though I cannot prove it.”

Rose was impassive.

“And Moore, you never seem to learn! I’ve had several reports from the matrons saying you’ve been giving them the finger behind their backs. I guess you thought you were too smart to get caught.”

Barb’s mouth dropped open in surprise. My God! they knew? But she said nothing.

“Fortunately, Moore will be released in fifteen hours and the two of you should never see each other again.” Both inmates smiled at the thought.

“I’m glad you both take it that way. I also am very happy at that prospect! Therefore, I will not take a chance on having anything happen in the meantime. Barb, regulations don’t allow me to keep you in the infirmary any longer. However, I have decided I must separate you two. Rose, you will stay in your current cell.”

“Barb, you cannot apparently be trusted anywhere in the general population. Therefore, you will be put in solitary confinement, where you will be served your meals and not mix with any other prisoner until your outtake processing tomorrow morning. There is no way you can get in trouble there. Is that acceptable to you, inmate Moore?”

Barb nodded assent. Thank God, she thought.

“Inmate Moore. The Embassy has wired the funds for your fine, and I am authorized to release you tomorrow morning. You will be out the doors at 8:30 AM and your Embassy representative – she said the word with obvious sarcasm – will meet you here to get you out of our hair.”

“Thank you so much. I won’t be any bother.”

The Head gave a harrumph of disbelief. “The matrons are moving your things to your new cell. They will be returning here in a moment and will take each of you separately to your cells.”

Again, they nodded obediently.

“Fine. You two go and wait in the anteroom and let me not hear a peep out of either of you or the Correction Room will be busy tonight!”

Anteroom to Head Matron’s Office. Central Station Holding Facility, Sunday March 9, 5:40 PM Day Nine of Detention

They filed out of the office, Rose leading. Barb closed the door behind her and turned back only to have Rose get in her face and smirk, “How’s your tight little butt feel now, American Chicken?”

Barb, a good six inches taller stood her ground. “I’ll be OK, dirty Chinese whore! You’re lucky I don’t whip your skinny butt!”

Rose gave a look of intense hatred and pulled back her right arm, making a fist. Before she could punch, Barb stepped back and Rose, missing, spun round. Barb pushed her along.

The missed punch and the unexpected push together threw Rose off balance and her legs went out from under her. She tilted forward and her head hit the corner of the secretary’s desk on her way to the floor. She lay without moving.

Barb gingerly advanced until she was standing over Rose and put her hand to her mouth and cried out as she saw blood running from under the girl’s head across the white tile floor.


At that moment, Head Matron Wong, drawn by the noise of the scuffle, emerged from her office. The outer door also opened and Matrons Long and Sing entered. All three were shocked speechless as they saw Barbara Moore standing over the motionless, bleeding body of inmate Rose Lin.

Then Wong said, “Oh My God, Moore! What have you done?”

Crime and Punishment in Modern Singapore


The End
 
I’m totally innocent! The stupid little bitch did this to herself! You can’t charge me with murder. I didn’t do it!

Ummmm ... they don’t believe in the death penalty here, do they?

They do?

Shit!

What a fucking shithole of a country!
Look on the bright side, Barb: if they do put you to death, you won't have to worry about all that debt you have got yourself into.
 
While there has been no start made on a part 2, I should point out that the No Sex rule would no longer be in effect.

Two British actors sum up my response to this:

Quite right... female death row inmates should spend their last hours on earth doing something useful like serving the needs of their jailers, however degrading and perverted... :p
Or other prisoners. Or both.
