A woman arrives at the prison for her weekly visit, carrying a small paper bag of snacks and looking a little irritated.
After chatting with her husband for a while through the glass, she notices how tired he looks and decides to take up the issue on her way out.
She stops at the front desk where a correction officer is sipping coffee and flipping through paperwork.
With a concerned tone she says, “Officer, I really think you’re working my husband far too hard. Every week he looks more and more exhausted.”
The officer raises an eyebrow, confused.
“Ma’am,” he says, chuckling, “your husband doesn’t do any work here. He eats, sleeps, and sits in his cell all day. That’s it.”
The woman frowns, genuinely puzzled now.
“That’s strange,” she says slowly, tilting her head.
“Because he told me he’s been digging a tunnel for months!”
