By 8 p.m. on a Friday, David Gorges has already clocked 48 stressful hours counseling and guarding inmates at the state prison in town. His work week isn’t over. He’s working security at The Alley, an arcade and bowling alley in Hutchinson. He takes on extra work so he can be debt-free when he retires, though he said he is close to paying off his farm. “I don’t go out and drive a Corvette,” Gorges said. “My wife doesn’t have a Cadillac Escalade, or anything like that. We live a humble lifestyle. We don’t go on these lavish trips out of state. We just believe in good hard work.” He needs the extra job because his checks from the Kansas Department of Corrections aren’t big enough.
