Because of his age, he found it difficult to do heavy work, but he never complained and tried to honestly do everything he was commissioned. Every morning, the woman went out into the courtyard, filled a large bucket of plastic with water and quietly washed the prison clothes.<br \/>\nThe old recluse was quietly washing her clothes in the prison yard, when the most dangerous criminal approached her and, holding her head tightly, plunged her head-long directly into the soapy and dirty water. However, a few minutes later something happened that left even the most ruthless inmates in shock&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Most of the inmates treated her indifferently, but a woman named Vanessa was considered the most dangerous in the entire colony. She kept almost the entire pavilion frightened, constantly humiliated other inmates and was used to no one daring to deny her anything.<\/p>\n<p>That day, Vanessa approached Margaret and threw a bunch of dirty clothes next to the bucket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWash mine too,\u201d he said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>The old woman looked at her tiredly and answered quietly:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I\u2019m just finishing up with mine. You&#8217;ll have to do it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>In the courtyard there was an immediate silence. Everyone understood that after those words nothing good was going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Vanessa\u2019s face instantly changed through fury. He abruptly grabbed Margaret by the hair and sank her head hard directly into the soapy and dirty water. The old woman began to drown and tried to free herself, while the other inmates only watched in silence, fearing to intervene.<\/p>\n<p>Continue on the next page<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>Pero inesperadamente, una de las mujeres que durante muchos a\u00f1os hab\u00eda soportado los abusos de Vanessa dio un paso al frente.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u00a1Basta! \u2014 grit\u00f3 con fuerza.<\/p>\n<p>A continuaci\u00f3n, otra reclusa se puso a su lado. Luego una tercera. En pocos segundos, casi todo el patio rode\u00f3 a Vanessa. Por primera vez en muchos a\u00f1os, nadie baj\u00f3 la mirada ni dio un paso atr\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p>Incluso Vanessa comprendi\u00f3 que se hab\u00eda quedado sola. Solt\u00f3 lentamente a Margaret y dio unos pasos hacia atr\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p>Pero lo m\u00e1s inesperado ocurri\u00f3 horas m\u00e1s tarde.<\/p>\n<p>El ruido en el patio fue escuchado por el personal de la prisi\u00f3n. Separaron r\u00e1pidamente a las reclusas, y el jefe de turno orden\u00f3 de inmediato retirar las grabaciones de todas las c\u00e1maras de vigilancia. Cuando la direcci\u00f3n revis\u00f3 el video, ya no quedaron dudas. En la grabaci\u00f3n se ve\u00eda claramente que Margaret no hab\u00eda provocado a nadie, estaba lavando tranquilamente su ropa, y que Vanessa fue la primera en acercarse, empezar a amenazarla y, sin motivo alguno, sumergir por la fuerza a la anciana de cara en el agua sucia.<\/p>\n<p>La anciana reclusa lavaba tranquilamente su ropa en el patio de la prisi\u00f3n, cuando la criminal m\u00e1s peligrosa se acerc\u00f3 a ella y, agarr\u00e1ndole con fuerza la cabeza, la sumergi\u00f3 de cara directamente en el agua jabonosa y sucia. Sin embargo, unos minutos despu\u00e9s ocurri\u00f3 algo que dej\u00f3 en estado de shock incluso a las reclusas m\u00e1s despiadadas\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de esto, la administraci\u00f3n decidi\u00f3 mantener conversaciones individuales con todas las mujeres que se encontraban en el patio en ese momento. Para sorpresa de todos, una tras otra, las reclusas comenzaron a contar lo que hab\u00edan callado durante muchos a\u00f1os. Result\u00f3 que Vanessa golpeaba regularmente a las m\u00e1s d\u00e9biles, les quitaba sus paquetes, las obligaba a hacer su trabajo y amenazaba a cualquiera que intentara quejarse ante los guardias. Simplemente que antes nadie se atrev\u00eda a hablar contra ella.<\/p>\n<p>Ese mismo d\u00eda, Vanessa fue trasladada a una celda de aislamiento, se le retiraron todos los privilegios y se inici\u00f3 una nueva investigaci\u00f3n disciplinaria. Y unas semanas despu\u00e9s, fue enviada a otra colonia con un r\u00e9gimen m\u00e1s estricto.<\/p>\n<p>En cuanto a Margaret, a la ma\u00f1ana siguiente volvi\u00f3 a salir al patio con su cubo de lavar, como si nada hubiera ocurrido. Pero ahora todo era completamente diferente. Las mujeres que antes tem\u00edan incluso hablar con ella, se acercaban por su propia iniciativa para ayudarla a traer agua, ofrec\u00edan llevarle las cosas pesadas y ya no permit\u00edan que nadie le alzara la voz a la anciana.<\/p>\n<p>Una joven reclusa le dijo en voz baja:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Perd\u00f3nenos por no haber intervenido ayer de inmediato.<\/p>\n<p>Margaret solo sonri\u00f3 y respondi\u00f3 con calma:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lo importante es que al final encontraron el valor para hacerlo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An elderly inmate was quietly washing her clothes in the prison yard, when the most dangerous criminal approached her and,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":908,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=907"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":909,"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907\/revisions\/909"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flavorlab.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
