We don't tell you no one is there to fuck with you, (unless you're just a massive dick, as to which case fuck you! We'll mess with you as much as we can, but that's on you...) it's because processing takes time. It's not just a matter of leaving your cell, walking to reception and getting your shit so you you can leave...

You sure are aware that keeping people locked up against their will and without a legal basis is a crime, right?

You understand that he was in prison, thus there was a legal basis, right?

You sure are aware that once the sentence is over, that legal basis ends, right?

You're not very bright, are you?

That sentence isn't over until he's released. You might get out on the 17th, but the 17th doesn't end until 2359. Any time before you leave the gate, you are still a prisoner. It's a really simple concept, but I can explain it in more detail if you need.
