I had a very interesting conversation with a staff member today. We spoke about the environment of this prison and how things operate here. It confirmed what the inmates already know. “The staff see’s what goes on in here but it’s ignored.” They don’t know how to control it, so it’s simply igonored and he agreed that it’s sad that there is no help for the inmates here. Someone else spoke up and said, “eh, it’s crazy to see people prop their bunkies up for count and it just seems to be ok!” The officer said, “Yes. I agree. Things aren’t as they should be.” But even through all the craziness here, I have prevailed. I know that within myself, if I have learned to struggle through this and be where I am, I’m confident that I can definitely make it out there!!!
