  The worst part about being stuck is when summer vacations roll around... vacations that in other times would be e the beach or by the pool. But now, uhe relentless summer sun, only a few people withe almost mass exodus of some members from the prisons.

  There's a peiary system that establishes many obvious rules about how inmates' sentences should be. Firstly, the limit for a minor's sentence is 1 year; however, for special cases, aension of ara 6 months be imposed. A person be released food behavior 3 months before their sentends. In cases of overcrowding, those who are close to pleting their sentence will be released first, as well as those incarcerated for non-violent crimes.

  Sedly, those in legal limbo, eighteen years old, who it a crime, will be treated as an exempry punishment at the correal facility for adults and will serve unity servitil they turn 19. However, after 20 years, they are penalized with an adult prison.

  -There won't be a cert today; the heat is so intense I feel like I'm melting, - said Billy, doing exercises on the bar. The heat was hitting the basketball court hard; the temperature was at 39 degrees, acc to the readings given by the security guards. Even in the shade, the suffog heat didn't help to breathe; the sun's refle was strong.

  -We cook eggs on the kerose's relentless not being able to swim in the sea, - said Jimmy, carefully adjusting the dumbbell bars. He didn't deny that in the few hours, they would exercise and exercise more.

  -I 't believe Sam was the first to leave; he's a real-time bomb, - said Billy.

  -He mentioned something about being a naval soldier to bee your bodyguard. When you bee famous, he hopes you'll invite him to all the parties with models. He eveioned something about getting into boxing, -- said Fred, enting on Sam's ironic words. -- The dwarf bodyguard will only cause you problems; you should hire someone like me, who knock out adults at the age of 14, - said Fred.

  -Meh, learn Krav Maga, how to use ons and knives, and be dangerous as hell. I'll hire you, - said Billy, flexing his biceps.

  Since he came to this correal facility, he has bee addicted to exercise. He had done everything possible to immerse himself in fitness culture, as he was expined: eating well, as well as the menus allowed, long periods of cardio, weights, core exercises... all to sustain the singing that was as demanding as a long-distance marathon.

  or didn't like exercise; he rested against the cold wall, lost in his particur silences.

  -I'll jog; see you in an hour and a half, - said Billy, twisting his tongue. His physical dition was remarkable; however, he only sted nine minutes of tinuous singing; with pauses, he could reach 23 minutes, but it was exhausting. A cert sted two to three hours; even if he only opened, he had to have enough endurao sing two or three songs without being exhausted by physical exertion.

  Jimmy's grimace was enough to express the madness of jogging in the unbearable heat.

  He grabbed a long white shirt and put it over his face, wetting it with a nearby tap. He pced it on his face... a stretch of 500 meters in the sun, an almost 700-meter stret the shade, another 300 meters in the shade, crossing the east wall, and having a kilometer in the shade. The only shaded wall made a total of 6 ps around the plex, uhe mid-afternoon sun.

  As he jogged, he began to sider his songs, singing them mentally as he did the rounds. Sometimes he repeated them mentally until he got tired of the song for a while.

  He reached the bars and only found or sitting there. He took from the tap until he was rested. The good thing about doing these exercises was the an he was starting to get; his body ted to the sun, giving him a surfer's tan. It made his blonde hair and hazel eyes, with a touch of green, look pact.

  -You're still here, buddy, - said Billy, sittio or.

  He didn't respond.

  -What did the officer say? Do you have a release date yet? - Billy asked.

  -August 12th, - said or.

  -Have you called Jerry? - Billy inquired.

  -No, - or replied.

  -Call him if you still want to be my drummer, - Billy responded.

  or nodded. For the few mihey were in plete silence, b with nothing more than ess. or erson who only spoke wheeo do so.
