The CO's just barging in during the middle of the night, or even Sunday church service (yep, it's happened a few times!) to do searches and what not is just more of a slap in our faces. I vaguely remember one Sunday afternoon during "church", we were interrupted as the CO came into the dayroom and started looking under all of the tables/stools for any apples or oranges that were placed there from breakfast/lunch that morning. The preacher even stopped what he was doing, just watching the CO, then looked at all of us and said, "I'm sorry for that." They're [COs] basically saying "We can do whatever the heck we want, you're scum, deal with it!"

I remember one day I was "racked" for 24 hours because a CO searched the cell I was in, and I had 1 too many books. Can you believe that?! Being disciplined for having an extra book. How petty is that?

I have very mixed feelings on Rob. On on hand, I believe he would use anyone to his advantage that he could manipulate. He tried to act like the "Pod Boss" on numerous occasions. However, it was interesting seeing him in Fulton. Not sure if you were aware or not, but he "checked-in". I was surprised to see him in 4-A one morning. During chow, while mixed with other inmates, he looked more scared to be there than I was!
