Watching Director Johnson and little Michael's mother leave, the prison guard turned his gaze away from the car driving off into the distance. As he closed the prison gate, he joked with his colleagues, "Did you see that? This is the privilege of the rich. He was barely inside before he was released, and his wife is so young, younger than his possible daughter..."
The colleague next to him chuckled and shook his head, not saying anything further. People like them can witness scenes that many ordinary people will never see.
Some people enter prison with one foot and leave with the other; this has almost become a norm.
Some people enter with such pomp that it doesn't even feel like they're going to jail, but rather to receive admiration, which they indeed achieve.
When these people leave, it is equally grand; the convoy coming to greet them outside the prison consists of at least a dozen or even dozens of cars.
