[ WP ] Antarctica has been turned into a prison colony and you have been sent there . Tell us about the experience .

When I joined the forces, I was ecstatic. Helping people and doing good was implemented in the core of my being ever since I was a kid. And what do I get for being a good human my whole life? I'm stuck here. Great job, karma!

 They sent me here soon after the facility was „open for business “. Due to its obviously not pleasant work conditions, the job was „offered “ to those who could n't refuse. Coming from a big family stricken hard by the raging economic crisis, I was sadly one of those who could n't refuse. Sooner than ever, I was shipped to this hell on Earth, along with criminals charged with the worst wrongdoings one can imagine.

 Life as a prison guard is never easy, but trust that it's even worse in these conditions. We live in an establishment directly connected to the main building containing prison cells. 
 
 The food we get is the same food fed to inmates. 
 
 Sometimes, I ca n't even sleep due to horribly low temperatures. 
 
 We walk the thin line of life and death ever day, because you never know when you could face a riot in a still uncertain environment. 
 
 The fact I'm one of the few female guards here does not help my situation. Not with inmates. Not with male guards. 
 
 We're allowed to go home once a year, and even then, a big question mark is hanging over that possibility because we can only execute it if we manage to find someone else from our country to replace us. I've been here for 2 years without visiting my hometown once. 
 
 Friendships are hard to form because we all live by the unwritten and unmentioned rule: „You should only trust yourself “. 
 
 I cried myself to sleep for the first 200 days ( minus the days I did n't sleep; that's when I spent the nights crying ). The last time I had a smile on my face was about a year and half ago when I received a picture from my youngest sister's graduation. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 I'm surrounded by thousands of people, but I've never felt so alone.

 *I'm not sure who the real prisoners are. *
