[Alice seems much more confident and relaxed than in previous entries; the 'lost and frightened' act has been abandoned as dull.]
I never understood the appeal of summer camps. To children, anyway; the appeal to parents is clear enough. I was always under the impression that summer holidays were the one time to avoid being herded around an enclosure by grown-ups with no interest in your wellbeing.
Then again, I don't suppose I was ever a member of that demographic.
[She pauses, then gives a little shrug.]
At least no-one died. And I don't remember tripping over any bodies yesterday, so...that's at least five days. That must be a record in the time I've been here.
[She smiles brightly.] Speaking of which. Call it an academic curiosity - how does it get decided, whose deaths get investigated and whose get ignored? From what I can put together, the former group seems like a much, much more exclusive gang than the latter. At the moment, I can just assume it's a perk. Inmates have to earn their justice, or take it into their own hands, or just....accept that their existence here is meaningless. It's no wonder so many people graduate.
