Inside, the senior guard, grim and brutal, was pinning a prisoner to the floor with his baton. The man was barely conscious.

“Make one more sound and I’ll teach you what discipline is,” he growled.

The prisoner collapsed, and the guard raised the baton again. Anna shouted:

“Stop! You’re going to kill him!”

The guard turned.

“Who do you think you are, girl? This is none of your business.”

But it was already too late. Anna had seen everything. And she decided not to stay silent.

The next day Anna filed a report. The guard was demoted and lost part of his salary. And that’s when the story reached the prison warden.
