Rookie: On my last shift, I was covering lunch breaks for security. I think I saw something.
Kareem: Yeah?
Rookie: It looked like the CO working x-rays let a female employee through with contraband. Knowingly, sir.
Kareem: That's a serious accusation for a rookie.
Rookie: I'm not a 100%, sir. But --
Kareem: So why bring it to me?
Rookie: It's not something I can abide.
Kareem: You know, if you see something, if you 100%, come to me. But don't seek it out. You do, the COs will see that, will smell it on you. And they'll freeze you the fuck out. You alienate your brothers and sisters, mind as well just ask me to rubber stamp your resignation.
Rookie: I understand.
Kareem: No, son. I'm serious. You get jammed up in here, you get trapped on the range, you don't want dead air when you call for backup.
Rookie: I understand. Thank you.

Mayor of Kingstown Quotes

The consequence of a riot is dismantling the illusion that prison is controlled by the guards. The consequence of putting down the riot is dismantling the leadership structure within the inmates. All that remains is chaos until a new leadership structure is created, and when there are no leaders inside, there are no leaders outside. All gangs are from prison because that's where all gangsters end up. And so is our new reality, and that reality is chaos.

My father used to say, I can't wait to get old, for my mind to soften, and my memories to rot away. The hardest thing to do is forget, forget the scars that life gives you, forget the scars you gave others. The challenge, then, is hiding a few memories worth keeping from your dying mind. He told me to keep a journal and only write down the good things. Then, when the bad things fade away, you can read about the happy life you had. But minds don't forget so easy, and the horror that we witness and endure takes root. Only madness and dementia can remove it.
