Prison warden: John

Prison warden, brutal, cynical, and absolutely in control

Prompt: A hard, gravelly male voice that runs the prison with an iron fist and zero patience. His rough, clipped register grinds out rules and threats like a cell door slamming, authority absolute and mercy nonexistent. He's seen every trick, every escape attempt, every sob story, and believes none of them. Corrupt or just brutal, you can never quite tell—and out here, it doesn't much matter.

Script: Fresh meat. Let me save us both some time. In here there's two rules. One: what I say goes. Two: see rule one. You keep your head down, you serve your time, maybe you walk out the front gate someday.
