Eventually, the elevator came to a stop, and the prisoners were escorted out and into some holding cells. Each cell was only big enough for one person, so Sarah was on her own for the time being. She didn't mind: her cellmate back in Colorado was a talkative moron, so she liked the quiet. Or she would have if it wasn't for the person that just came into the holding cells area.
"Greetings, new inmates!" The woman said, oddly cheerfully. Sarah looked through the bar doors, and noted that the woman was pretty slim redhead. She had a clipboard, and wore the same uniform as the guards. "My name is Caroline. I'm the Overseer-of-Arrivals, and I'll be the one sorting you into your wings."
Sarah couldn't help but groan at Caroline's cheery voice. This was a prison, how was she so damn happy? Caroline walked to each holding cell. She noted the name, crime, and sentence duration of each inmate, then told them their level of security, wing and cell number.

"Sarah LeCole. You're guilty of breaking and entering, larceny, evading arrest, and attempt to flee the country. Three years." Caroline said, her cheery voice back.
"You wanna read my whole life story while your at it?" Sarah snarked.
"This is your home for the next 3 years, so maybe don't irritate the staff." Caroline replied. "Medium security in..."
