Demand to be put in protective custody
From Create Your Own Story
You file an official request to be placed in protective custody. You are allowed to stay in administrative segregation while your petition is processed.
A few days later, however, you are informed that your request has been denied. A guard roughly escorts you into the general prison population. You are trembling with fear.
As luck would have it, a new group of prisoners is just arriving. A lot of attention seems focused on the newcomers. You wonder how to handle this.
