Synopsis/Details
JEREMY, a prison inmate in his 50s, sits on his bunk reading a book when he's interrupted by guards, who toss WALLY into the cell with him. The younger prisoner clearly has a chip on his shoulder and is keen to prove his toughness, but Jeremy doesn't respond to his taunts or threats. Over time, Wally starts going stir-crazy in the cell, so Jeremy distracts him with tales about a doctor he knows who has found an anti-aging procedure that can take years off one's life. He also reveals a dangerous escape route from the prison that few have attempted because of the high risk. Wally makes the attempt, and the WARDEN later visits the cell to tell Jeremy how the escape turned out for his former cellmate.
