On the 20th October 2007 Jerry Jackson was sent to Reddington prison
for first degree murder. His first 6 months inside were rough, but
time passed and he slowly adjusted to life inside. He appealed against
his sentence during the first six months, but sadly failed to get
bail.
The head officer of C section, Jerry’s section, Jane Cox has a very
formal relationship with her prisoners. She has been serving at the
prison for the past ten years and is the most experienced member of
staff. Her partner Erik Matthews is a trainee at the prison and the
plan is for him to take over Jane’s role when she retires. Erik dream
has always been to run a prison, he sees becoming head officer a
stepping stone to the top. He’s a career driven man and is a Harvard
graduate.
There is one more person who got sucked into this tragic story.
Jerry’s lawyer Jonathan Cumberland, the most successful lawyer who
ever lived. He never lost a case in 5 years. And so the story begins
on a normal day at a normal time in a normal place.
At 10:00am that morning Jonathan had a meeting with Jerry in his cell.
“Jerry, if you want to get bail your behaviours got to improve
drastically. As it is you’re not on the judges best side.” “I know , I
know but if you want to survive in this place you’re going to have to
ruffle some feathers if you know what I mean” “Yeah I know but you
could try and keep a low profile” “Okay I’ll see what I can do but I’m
not making any promises”. While outside the room Erik and Jane where
talking about the possibility of moving Jerry to another prison “He
has to go he’s too much trouble , there have been three suspicious
deaths in the past six months and they’ve all been somehow linked to
him. Come on Jane this isn‘t coincidence” “I know Erik but there’s no
solid evidence”.
