Police captain Moore: Kevin. Hey, you good?
Rookie Guard Jackson: Yes sir. I even hit the gate.
Moore: Yeah, that's right. That's right. Listen, your training was too accelerated. We all know it. The staff here. DOC. But we bled so much in the riot.
Jackson: I'm happy to be here, sir. Happy to serve.
Moore: Yeah. Your family in corrections?
Jackson: Incarcerated, sir, where I'm from.
Moore: Listen, so you're good with what you witnessed?
Jackson: I seen people die before.
Moore: Yeah. I was told that you tried to -- you tried to help the inmate.
Jackson: It wasn't a whole lot I could do.
Moore: No. It wasn't. Don't -- don't ever do that again, son. Ever.
Jackson: Yes, yes sir.
Moore: It won't be the last time you'll experience that violence. But it will be the last time you offer aid before the seniors secure and you have backup. You're lucky to be going home. You hear what I'm saying?
Jackson: Yes Warden.

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.
