It Starts....

After we did all of the checking in we could do today, we (my buddy Day and I) kind of got started on our jobs.

First they split us up and had us doing different things. I went into Special quarters. That's where all of the prisoners that have special needs (such as restrictions on their daily routine) go.When I got there it was shower call. There were 12 prisoners there, and all had to be taken to the shower individually. So the other marine would open the shower and radio the control to open the assigned door. The prisoners would stick their hands through the feed tray, and I would hand cuff them, they would step back and the door would open, and I would escort them to the shower.

Before that the prisoners and detainees were on their chow time, after chow they would show one knife, one fork, and one spoon, after that they would line up on a wall and frisk them. While frisking them, one of them laughed, and a guard quickly corrected this.

Then we learned how to buff a 25 foot hall way.....for around 4 hours.
