the cell was a small, perfectly square room, about six foot in height with each wall no more than four feet in length. a single window, also perfectly square, was halfway up one wall and let in a small amount of light, though blocked by a grill. the only other source of light was a single bulb that hung from the center of the ceiling. along the opposite wall was a squat bed. its frame was steel, but years of use had left numerous scratches and knicks. on the bed was a yellow mattress mottled with stains. the only way in or out of the cell was a single heavy gray door
