Lockdown, Day 3

6/3/2008

 
Today is the third day being under a "lockdown..."
I'm enjoying the rest as well as having the extra time to catch up on my writing, reading and cleaning. Someone who knows nothing about prisons, other than what he has seen on television, probably has no idea of how busy a place this can be. My days are usually filled with things to do. I have a work assignment which begins shortly after breakfast. Then I have another job which starts at 12:45. While most evenings I'm either in the chapel attending Bible study, or in my cell writing, or I am in the recreation yard. And aside from the times when I'm required to be in my cell for the daily "head counts" or to sleep, I'm not here too often.

Anyhow, it's now approximately 4:30 in the afternoon. The mail was just given out. Then, at 5:30, the evening's meal will be served. Once again, because of the lockdown, it will be given out by correction officers who'll go from cell to cell giving each inmate a tray of food along with a lukewarm cup of Kool-aid.

However, the rumor is that the lockdown will be ending around eight o'clock. If so, I'll be allowed out of my cell along with everyone else to shower, mail my letters, throw out my garbage, or get on the long line to use the telephone. But I've already decided to opt for the shower because I've been three days without one.

D.B.
