Thanks, although with that, I can also kind of see the shift working for what I'm intending. The idea is supposed to be that it's like they sat this prison guard down and had him tell the story to a camera. I imagine him as a guy with a thick Southern accent, and a tendency to ramble, and the interview as completely unscripted, so changing tense in that context would be a character trait, not a mistake.

Or do you think that would be unclear to the reader?
