Attestation for summer temp work in the late 1970's

Attestation for my summer temp work as prison guard in Fredrikstad prison
I worked one summer in 1979 or maybe 1977 as summer temp prison guard in Fredrikstad fengsel in the old town. It was a small prison with 16 cells, tells the internet now. It was perhaps not the ideal work for me - I did not wear a uniform but only my everyday clothes, including a rather worn-out vest.
I did have an attestation for this summer temp work signed by then prison chief K.Eriksen and I know that I have seen it not so many years ago, but now I cannot find it again. I will put it out here if I find it.
It means that if there has been a campaign telling that 'he has been in prison' and it sounds credible, that is the explanation. I have never been sentenced for any crime.
I got the summer work from the local work administration. Could be the woman who suggested it looked at my name.
