Title: Job at the Museum
Date: 15 December 2011

An advertisement/help wanted was listed on the internet job board;
City Museum is seeking help for their new display “Crime Time and Punishment”. Solely looking for men, any age, and must be in good health. “Crime Time and Punishment” will be an ongoing display of life in the prison system. Depending on the job you are hired for you will be receiving room and board, meals and city issued uniform. You will be paid $15.00 - $20.00 per hour, direct deposit required for pay check issue. We do background checks and provide all medical care for you once hired. If hired you are guaranteed employment for eight weeks. Apply at CTPjob@cm.org. (please note e-mail address is not real)

Being unemployed for over a year I went to the e-mail address and applied. The next day I received a phone call from the Museum; “Sir” the voice said over the phone, “please report to the HR department in Museum Annex at 10:30 am today.”

That gave me an hour to get there. By public transit I could get there in 20 minutes. After responding to the caller, I leaped out the door with my transit pass in hand, my important papers for hiring.

I was nervous, what is the job. They will provide my housing for eight weeks. As I arrive at the HR department of the Museum I find other guys waiting. I check in. “Hello”, I say “I’m Michael Weston I have a 10:30 appointment.”

“So are all the others” the receptionist responds. “May I have your right hand palm down.” The receptionist takes a thick sharpie and inscribes a series of numbers on my hand. “5476MW” the receptionist says “throughout the orientation you will be referred to by this number, it will be your name if your kept for the next eight weeks or even longer.” The receptionist copies my name and the number on a piece of paper, places it into a tube and sends it off in a Pneumatic Tube Delivery System.

10:30 sharp four men enter the room, dressed in black, leather gloved, a pistol on their right hip and a taser on the left, their faces were covered with balaclavas and they were wearing sunglasses. They were muscular built (like a wall). They had black boots on and had two sets of Smith and Wesson handcuffs dangling from their back pockets.

The receptionist announces “gentlemen please follow these men” and on that note in unison the men drew their tasers. All the guys in the room, including myself were surprised. We are escorted down one flight of stairs to a large room. Although I have never been arrested, this room looked like a booking room for the county jail.

Another gentleman entered the room dress as a police officer. “As of this moment,” he says “you’re all hired to participate in the Crime Time and Punishment exhibit. Commence orientation.”

Should I have said booking!

We were grabbed one at a time by one of the men in black, taken to a room where we were ordered to strip our clothing and proceed to the next room.

The next room a figure dressed in as doctor for an exam. Before he sends us to another room he gives us each an enema (warm soapy enema) and shoves a plug in to hold it. “Depending in how fast the barbers in the next room are the room after is the shower room an there you will relieve yourselves” the doctor advises us, “Fail to make it that far and your guard may taser you and relive your self in the barbers chair, your fellow partisanship will have to sit in your mess.”

We advance to the barber room there in the middle of the room is ONE barber’s chair with locking restraints.
