"Johnnies"

For the last three days the "chow hall" has been shut down and we have been getting "johnnies" instead. Johnnies consist of a brown paper sack with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, raisins, and either toasted oat cereal or a bologna sandwich.

The reason behind the closing of the chow hall: bubbled flooring near the dishwasher. This is a recently refurbished unit, too! Nothing but the best in the Texas prison system.

When one of the guards was counting us tonight she looked up at me (she is short and I have a top bunk) and said. "Why are you here? You shouldn't be here. You're too clean cut." Interesting... I don't think I should be here either but it's not because of my looks.
