it was disappointing to say the least when upon hearing footsteps approach outside the cell door , and seeing the faintest of light seep in around the doorframe and small barred window set out of my reach high on the door , all that happened was that a nearly floor level flap in the door swung outward from its hinged top and a bowl of something was set on the floor and shoved further into the cell using a pushing stick with a v shape on one end .
