Human to numbers

caught or accused; arrested
handcuffed, fingerprinted, mugshot
processed through, bunk or cot
cell, cellmate(s), population 
will there be a bond or nah?
anticipation for hearing: fearing
postponed rescheduled new date
appointed public defender
no communication, no information
questions about the charge(s)
finally, court date with appearance
innocent or guilty, what do you plea?
case go to trial; more waiting 
apprehension of being held captive
creates or awakes a something within
enduring abuse of all kind and levels
disturb the mind body and soul
following rules and command of fools
activities, classes, books: brief solitude
a system gain while the humanness is lost
psychologically, emotionally, and mentally
used as commodity, mules, subservience
if sober when entered, forced habits/acts 
can't beat them, join them become thought
one of the ways of protection for most
wondering and praying for that Heavenly GOD
this circumstance is detrimental for some
those that can't endure, lose their mind
contemplating life or death for anyway out
survivor from a safe guarded emotional state
released back in a world familiar by habits
cell shocked within the subconscious mind
enclosed in a profitable injustice system
that has no correctness at all; SCAM 
guilty or innocent hearing or trial
the CRIME is during the imprisonment
short or long term.
