Being a guard at Northfield is a risky business. The guards go through rigid training necessary to survive everyday life amongst the most dangerous of inmates. New guards have to get used to their tough PVC protective uniforms until they no-longer feel right in evryday casual clothes
But sooner or later their tough PVC gear becomes part of their very being
Northfield does not believe in drugging and sedating their prisoners. The super-max institution keeps their inmates heavily restrained, giving them a chance to roll around, to struggle, to fight, to exhaust themselves. Helplessly tied up, lying on soft padded floors, they have all the time in the world to think about what got them to where they are. But, - getting used to the tough uniform is only the bginning for the rookie guards. They are going to be restraining prisoners, - some even permanently. Every new guard has to experience what it is like to be an inmate. Every new guard has to go through an initiation process, -something he never forgets.
Only then is a guard ready to deal with the most dangerous and crafty of prisoners, in an environment where straitjackets are the norm and where walls are padded.
Thanks to their professional efficiency, no prisoner has ever escaped from a straitjacket, no prisoner has ever escaped from his padded cell and Northfield super-max penitentiary has become a place of no-return
