You get used to being watched all the time
After lockdown I’d sit on my rack and look out onto the block.
From my cell I could see, no shit, three different cameras.
They didn’t even bother to hide them.
They were right there in the open, but too high to reach.
I’m guessing the screws had one of those setups with a screen that cycles through all of them, or maybe a bunch of screens.
However they did it, I had certain knowledge I was under constant surveillance.
I go outside now and it’s weird.
Nobody watching.
I could do anything.
Oh, you mean you haven’t noticed all the cameras in stores, outside stores, at traffic stops, etc.? Believe me, Big Brother is watching you 🙂
Because you see no cameras doesn’t mean no cameras see you! Nice one.

I’m betting there’s more cameras out here. But don’t tell your old bunkie, it might ruin the mystique of the outside. Good write.
He has gotten used to attention in a perverse way. Now he is missing it when no one watching.
Ha. He could do anything, but what good is it if no one is watching? Nice.
They’re still watching … But it only matters if he gets caught. Great write.
Think Big Brother is still watching. Nice job!
When he adjusts to the outside he will see a camera, then myriad cameras. He just hasn’t realised yet.
This ends on a nice tone of menace. Its true there are many cameras in the real world but nothing, compared to what he’s used to. The system has trained him well…
There will be cameras somewhere along his journey even if not at the actual place he’s at and with them they’ll trace him, know he’s there. Modern technology makes writing crime really difficult, the cameras always have to be inoperative or the crime happens in a blackspot.
