What's Done in the Dark

The year is 1988 Inside the Breakers of San Pedro Bay amid a thick blanket of Fog sits Terminal Island Federal Prisons South Yard containing baseball field Track and weight lifting area which are all connected to a long one story building. The prisons Vocational & Wellness Center and the prison furniture factory three razor wired sensory fences separating the prisoners from the water along with two manned gun towers at each end. Suddenly a bearded black man wearing kaki clothing is seen vaulting from the roof of the building on the very end clearing the three fences and rocks below to land with the precision of an experienced High-Diver into the murky water. A distance away from the prison in the water the man surfaces for air then returns under water and swims away from the prison undetected leaving the black pole he used to vault with floating in the water behind him out to sea.
